This repository contains the manifest files for the **Windows Package Manager** default source. You are highly encouraged to submit manifests for your favorite application.

> [!IMPORTANT]
> At this time installers must be MSIX, MSI, APPX, MSIXBundle, APPXBundle, or .exe application installers. Font files (.ttf, .ttc, .otf, .otc, and .fnt) are also supported, although we are not currently accepting community submissions for these yet. Script-based installers are not currently supported.

The **Windows Package Manager** is an [open source client](https://github.com/microsoft/winget-cli) designed for command-line usage. If you are interested in exploring private repositories offering private WinGet package hosting, see [private repositories](doc/private/README.md).
