About:
Komac is a specialized CLI tool designed to simplify the creation and maintenance of manifest files for the Windows Package Manager (WinGet). It automates the generation of YAML manifests by fetching metadata directly from application sources like GitHub releases, ensuring package definitions are always up-to-date and accurate.
Key Features:
  • Automated manifest generation from GitHub releases
  • Support for creating new packages and updating existing ones
  • Validation of manifest schemas to prevent errors
  • CLI-first approach for integration into CI/CD pipelines
Use Cases:
  • Maintaining up-to-date WinGet packages for open-source software
  • Automating package submission workflows in DevOps pipelines
  • Quickly bootstrapping new manifests for existing applications
Alternatives:
  • YamlCreate – YamlCreate is a PowerShell script often used for similar tasks, but Komac is a standalone Rust binary offering faster performance and more robust GitHub API integration.
  • WingetCreate – Microsoft's official tool; Komac is often preferred for its superior automation capabilities and direct handling of complex GitHub metadata.
