So far I've been using Chocolatey (https://chocolatey.org) for doing this (and ninite though that's not command line). But this looks pretty cool too. Thanks for sharing!

I created a small CLI tool that I package for Homebrew, Snap, Docker, Chocolatey and Scoop, and I prefer the packaging experience for Scoop, which is the most easy and straightforward one.

Compare the respective directories in https://github.com/philippgille/serve.

Nice tool btw! I wish I'd known about it 5 days ago, when I taught a class that involved a little bit of web development. I used devd, but getting it in the PATH was a non trivial task for some of the trainees who used Windows. Serve has an installer, which presumably solves that even without scoop or chocolatey.

Yeah I used chocolatey for a while too, but I found it needlessly overengineered, and often the abstraction was leaky. Scoop is dumber, in a good way.
