Gitlab for custom repo? #37045
-
|
Can gitlab be used to host a custom repository? I've only been able to find one person reporting success with it but they didn't say anything about the structure/etc. I've created my repo on the site, created the necessary manifests using the wingetcreate tool, but I can't seem to get winget to accept it as a new source. I get a variety of error messages depending on the target I point winget source add at. Thanks in advance for any advice. |

winget does not use git repos as sources. The manifests you see in this repo are processed into an index database, and that database is given to winget as an MSIX to be used as a source. To host a custom repository you can implement a REST API to act as the source and point winget to it. There is a reference implementation of this API that you can use, but I believe you can implement it any way you want as long as you follow the same API. |
