You can configure Winget-Create by editing the settings.json
file. Running wingetcreate.exe settings
will open the file in the default json editor; if no editor is configured, Windows will prompt for you to select an editor, and Notepad is sensible option if you have no other preference.
The Telemetry
settings control whether Winget-Create writes ETW events that may be sent to Microsoft on a default installation of Windows.
See details on telemetry, and our primary privacy statement.
"telemetry": {
"disable": true
},
If set to true, the telemetry.disable
setting will prevent any event from being written by the program.
The WindowsPackageManagerRepository
setting specifies which repository Winget-Create targets. By default, this setting targets the main microsoft/winget-pkgs
repository but can be changed to target a forked copy of the main repository like a test or private production repository.
The owner
setting specifies who owns the targeted GitHub repository. By default, this is set to microsoft
.
The name
setting specifies the name of the targeted GitHub repository. By default, this is set to winget-pkgs
.
