Provide the installation link to the winget project.

Steps

On a Windows Terminal:

# install wingetcreate tool
winget install wingetcreate

# create winget manifest
wingetcreate new

Edit the xaml files:

*.yaml
*.installer.yaml
*.locale.en.yaml
*.locale.en-US.yaml
*.locale.de.yaml
*.locale.es.yaml
...

Validate

winget validate "C:\path\to\manifest\directory\"

Fork the manifest repo https://github.com/microsoft/winget-pkgs

# Clone the repo
git clone "https://github.com/steveegge/winget-pkgs"

# Add the manifest to the following folder:
# .\winget-pkgs\manifests\<first-letter-of-publisher>\<PublisherName>\<AppName>\<Version>\
cp "C:\path\to\manifest\directory\" ".\winget-pkgs\manifests\s\steveyegge\beads\0.65\"

The manifest files need to be updated when a new version of bd is released.
