"winget install microsoft-git" finds entries in msstore by Eschryn · Pull Request #1756 · microsoft/VFSForGit (original) (raw)

Maybe its not reproducible for everyone, but when I run winget install microsoft-git it gives me the following output:

> winget install microsoft-git
Multiple packages found matching input criteria. Please refine the input.
Name          Id            Source
-----------------------------------
Windows Scan  9WZDNCRFJ3PV  msstore
Microsoft Git Microsoft.Git winget

Odd. This doesn't help indicate what exactly is causing your msstore to include something that matches microsoft-git. That's not helpful (and not your fault).

We could use the id instead I suppose. Not sure why I haven't thought of that immediately.

winget install --id Microsoft.Git

Thats actually much better.

I think this is a clearer way to be exact about it without having odd duplication of the word winget.

Edit: We should probably update all of our winget install commands.
