# WinGetHelpers!
__Now updated for 1.0 manifests!__
I hastily made this PowerShell module, that contains a collection of helper functions to make creation/submission of manifests easy for [microsoft/winget-pkgs](https://github.com/microsoft/winget-pkgs). Maybe it will be useful for you too.
I'm not good at PowerShell, which is why it looks like it's a bit of a mess. But it works on my machine (Windows 10 with WinGet installed) and I'm happy to share it with the community.
## Dependencies
This PowerShell module requires the following dependencies:
| Dependency | Why it's needed |
| --- | --- |
| Carbon | For getting the Product Code from MSI files |
| powershell-yaml | To parse the YAML files |
You can install both of these at once with the following command:
```
Install-Module powershell-yaml; Install-Module -Name Carbon
```
