Publishing Cutawan to winget

Windows is where most Cutawan installs happen. A winget package lets people run:

winget install JeremySNR.Cutawan

The app is not code-signed yet, which winget allows. Users will still see a SmartScreen prompt on first launch.

First publish (one-off)

The first listing is a pull request to microsoft/winget-pkgs. Generate the three YAML files from the latest GitHub release:

node scripts/print-winget-manifest.mjs --out .tmp/winget

Then either:

  • install wingetcreate and submit (wingetcreate submit .tmp/winget), or
  • open a PR against microsoft/winget-pkgs under manifests/j/JeremySNR/Cutawan/<version>/ with those three files.

Package identifier: JeremySNR.Cutawan.

Later releases (automatic)

Once the package exists, set two repository secrets/variables:

Name Where Value
WINGET_TOKEN Actions secret A PAT with public_repo that can open PRs on a fork of winget-pkgs
WINGET_PACKAGE_ID Actions variable JeremySNR.Cutawan

The Release workflow then runs winget-releaser after each GitHub Release so the manifest stays current. Leave WINGET_PACKAGE_ID empty until the first package is accepted, otherwise the job would try to update a package that does not exist yet.
