Top 23 PowerShell HacktoberFest Projects

  1. winget-pkgs

    The Microsoft community Windows Package Manager manifest repository

    Project mention: CPU-Z and HWMONITOR Compromised | news.ycombinator.com | 2026-04-10

    I think you should spend the 5 minutes it takes to look at the winget-pkg repo to see how it works. There's lots of great documentation.

    All updates are manual, and are done via pull requests. Check everything in-queue: https://github.com/microsoft/winget-pkgs/pulls

    Existing versions don't tend to have their metadata updated (I'm not sure winget would accept it). Only new versions are supported.
