Bootstrap For PCs

A series of Windows batch files to bootstrap a PC with apps, dev tools and other utilities. Harnesses the power of winget.

To use

1. Clone/fork/download this repo.
2. Install winget.
3. Run the installers (.cmd files) you like by double-clicking them (I may make this scriptable or import from a file but for now it is what it is)
4. (Optional) Fork your own version with the installers you want.

To keep up to date

Leverage winget upgrade --all (docs)

To contribute

Feel free to contribute PRs, but stick to adding apps that a majority of people will use.

Alternatives

If you're coming from an old PC it might be easier to use winget's export/import from your old/new PC. See here.

History

Originally this tool used Chocolatey predominantly (which was nicer to script / bulk install), but in setting up a new PC I've swapped over to winget.
