WSA PacMan
A GUI package manager and package installer for Windows Subsystem
wsa_pacman is a graphical package manager designed for Microsoft’s Windows Subsystem for Android (WSA). Its goal is to simplify the process of installing APKs onto WSA by offering a user-friendly interface rather than requiring command-line ADB commands. It detects running WSA instances, provides drag-and-drop APK installation, and shows app details before confirming installation. The tool helps users manage multiple APKs, check package signatures, and handle updates with minimal manual steps. Being lightweight, it integrates seamlessly into Windows, making Android app management on WSA accessible to non-technical users. The project demonstrates how to bridge desktop and Android environments through a clean and intuitive GUI. -

Windows Package Manager (WinGet)
WinGet is the Windows Package Manager
A package manager is designed to help you save time and frustration. Essentially, it is a set of software tools that help you automate the process of getting software on your machine. You specify which apps you want installed, and it does the work of finding the latest version (or the exact one you specified) and installing it on your machine. The client is distributed within the App Installer package. While this package is pre-installed on Windows, the client will not be made generally available during the Preview period. In order to get automatic updates from the Microsoft Store that contain the client, one must install a Windows 10 Insider build and join the Preview flight ring by signing up. Installer behavior can be different depending on whether you are running winget with administrator privileges. You can also build the client yourself. -

Composer
Dependency Manager for PHP
Composer is a tool for dependency management in PHP, inspired by node's npm and ruby's bundler. It allows you to declare, manage and install the libraries on which your PHP project depends. Unlike most package managers, Composer manages on a per-project basis. It installs packages or libraries in a directory (e.g. vendor) inside your project and does not install anything globally. However, for convenience it does support a "global" project via the global command. Suppose your project depends on a number of libraries which in turn, depend on other libraries. Composer enables you to declare these libraries, finds out which versions of these packages you require, and installs them. You can then update all of your dependencies conveniently with just one command. -

CMake
Cross-platform tool to build, test and package software
CMake is an open-source, cross-platform family of tools designed to build, test and package software. CMake is used to control the software compilation process using simple platform and compiler independent configuration files, and generate native makefiles and workspaces that can be used in the compiler environment of your choice. The suite of CMake tools were created by Kitware in response to the need for a powerful, cross-platform build environment for open-source projects such as ITK and VTK. CMake is part of Kitware’s collection of commercially supported open-source platforms for software development and integrates with CDash to provide a comprehensive suite of tools. CDash is the testing server that aggregates, analyzes, and displays the results of software testing processes submitted from clients located around the world. -

WingetUI
A better UI for your package managers
WingetUI is an intuitive, responsive and nice-looking user interface for the most common (command-line) package managers for Windows 10 and Windows 11. With this program, you'll be able to easily download, install, update and uninstall any software that's published on those package managers. The available packages range from well-known software such as browsers, pdf readers and other common programs to other less-known utilities such as vim for windows, which I bet you didn't know it existed. This project has no connection with Winget, Chocolatey or Scoop — it's completely unofficial. Be aware of the fact that neither Microsoft, Chocolatey, Scoop nor the creators of WingetUI are responsible for the downloaded apps. WingetUI has a built-in autoupdater. However, it can also be updated like any other package within WingetUI (since WingetUI is available through Winget and Scoop). -

Many organizations face the ongoing challenge of deploying and supporting various versions of software. Chocolatey allows organizations to automate and simplify the management of their complex Windows environments. Our customers have experienced a massive reduction in effort, improved speed of deployment, high reliability, and comprehensive reporting.

Vcpkg
C++ Library Manager for Windows, Linux, and MacOS
Vcpkg helps you manage C and C++ libraries on Windows, Linux and MacOS. This tool and ecosystem are constantly evolving, and we always appreciate contributions! After you've gotten vcpkg installed and working, you may wish to add tab completion to your shell. With CMake, you will still need to find_package and the like to use the libraries. Check out the CMake section for more information, including on using CMake with an IDE. In classic mode, vcpkg produces an "installed" tree, whose contents are changed by explicit calls to vcpkg install or vcpkg remove. The installed tree is intended for consumption by any number of projects: for example, installing a bunch of libraries and then using those libraries from Visual Studio, without additional configuration. Because the installed tree is not associated with an individual project, it's similar to tools like brew or apt, except that the installed tree is vcpkg-installation-local, rather than global to a system or user. -

JKSV
JK's Save Manager Switch Edition
This started as a simple, straight port of my 3DS save manager I publicly released in 2016. Despite not originally wanting to take it too far, I continued working on it for fun when I can. Dump and restore account save data. Dump and restore device saves shared by all users (Games such as Animal Crossing). Dump and restore BCAT Data. Dump and restore cache Saves. Dump system save data. Dumping this data is always enabled, but writing back needs to be enabled from the options menu. Writing to this can be very dangerous. Processes can be terminated from the Extras menu allowing you to open even more of these and explore more. Create save data so the user no longer needs to boot games to import saves. Titles can be rescanned from the Extras menu. For example, if you insert a game card while JKSV is open, rescanning will load and add it to the save creation menu(s). -
