Install Lefthook using a package manager in Windows
Is there a way to install lefthook on Windows using chocolatey package manager or winget? I want to write a bash script to automate this process of installing lefthook on my machine and other teammates.
@SAGARSURI Hi, you could add lefthook in any package manager you want, like here for python: https://github.com/life4/lefthook
Hey @Arkweid , Is it possible to add the .exe file in the asset of the release notes? I am planning to open up a PR for the winget package manager. They expect to mention the type of installer while submitting the PR.
Currently, we have only .zip file to download and extract it to get the .exe file.
I have added this to my JIRA ticket and will resume work once this is done. 😄
On Windows 1803 or later, you can use Unix curl with curl (in CMD) or curl.exe (in PowerShell).
So when unzipped files are added to the release, you can install lefthook with the same commands in both Windows and Unix (although you have to change the download URL and set the PATH) 🎉
It does not appear exe ever started getting published. @Envek could this be added for next release?
Since v0.7.4 non-compressed binaries are attached to releases.
@bbodenmiller @SAGARSURI @ahuglajbclajep please enjoy.
This is counterintuitive. You should probably use a better package manager. For example, Chocolatey is able to unzip files without any issues. https://docs.chocolatey.org/en-us/create/functions/install-chocolateyzippackage
Why should we use Chocolatey when Microsoft provide a default package manager i.e winget. It provides better security compared to other 3rd party package manager.

I'm very sorry to see this attitude toward community-driven open-source projects. A 3rd party project is not insecure by default, and Microsoft projects are not any more secure. Instead, I suggest you decide based on the actual technical differences. For example, if a package manager lacks its basics such as installing zip files or if it allows decentralized packages.
P.S: since this is offtopic, I will not continue this discussion after this comment.
We want to support as many installations methods as possible (however, using as least effort as possible). So, let's add support to both (pull requests are welcome)
Chocolatey is the defacto (winget is newer), but for Go packages I'd suggest Scoop. Goreleaser has built in configuration to support Scoop. I've written chocolatey packages and it's not as straight forward.
Between Scoop, go install, and npm install you've covered a nice set of install options.

I would also love to have this installable via Scoop. I have some experience with GoReleaser so let me know if help is needed.

Now available in Scoop via the Main bucket:

GoReleaser is no longer needed as the bucket auto-updates the manifest itself.
Lefthook is now available in Winget as well: https://github.com/microsoft/winget-pkgs/pull/112810. The Winget Releaser action should be used to keep it up-to-date:
