Feature Request: Add air to Window's choco package manager

Open mohamedmansour opened this issue 3 years ago • 2 comments

It would be nice if air can live in choco, which is the most popular package manager in Windows. Users would just have to do:

choco install air-go -Y

This is how you can create a package that automatically gets upgraded: https://docs.chocolatey.org/en-us/create/automatic-packages

An example package that does similar is golang (expand files): https://community.chocolatey.org/packages/golang#files

The author of golang choco basically does 0 manual stuff, just queries the release in github, and publishes the package.

This is step by step how to create a package in chocolately: https://docs.chocolatey.org/en-us/create/create-packages

How is that any easier to just running go get -u github.com/cosmtrek/air

It is because it is a package manager, which we can do mass updates instead of managing the updates manually when a security fix goes in or something. Similar to apt install
