Chocolatey (apt-get for windows) Kickstarter, only 4 days left

• viggity 12y ago
  For those of you who haven't used it, Chocolatey will change the way you get a box up and running. Think of it as Nuget/Gem/NPM but for windows apps. Want paint.net? "choco install paint.net" Want sublime? "choco install sublime" It is that simple. It has been a free project for a long time but they've got a kickstarter to help fund major enhancements, (virus checking, package moderation, more "sys-admin" type tasks to monitor machines on a network). It only has 4 days left, I really hope everyone considers backing, or at the very least, share it with friends that may be interested.

  Every developer who has benefited from Chocolatey should show some love for this project. And that is a TON of people.

  I love chocolatey. I can setup a new windows dev box faster than a mac one thanks to this little nuget.

  Isn't Windows 10 coming with a package manager?
  • ferventcoder 12y ago
    OneGet the package manager aggregator that has a Chocolatey provider. That's why it's crucial to support Chocolatey!

  Chocolatey is a game changer. Definitely worthy of kickstarter funding!
