Not sure if a hidden gem or not, but WingetUI is pretty handy. You can manage software in winget, scoop, chocolatey, pip, npm and .net with a graphics interface.
I didn't know that it could do pip, or npm, so it's a hidden gem for me, thanks :)
If I want parameters like silentInstall, can it generate that for me?
I believe WingetUI already runs in silent mode, it suppresses most windows in my experience. You can define parameters for individual packages, but not globally as far as I know, you'd have to check the documentation or their github to be sure.
I meant it more as a command generator, so I could create my own scripts with the tool.
Might look into it if it could do that for me.
Nah, it manages packages but that's about it. It's a very straightforward software.
