Installing Winget

Winget is a package manager based off  Keivan Beigi’s AppGet, its goal is to be a “one-stop shop” to install all your Windows programs. It achieves this by having a central repository of installation scripts for all of your favorite applications such as Discord, Spotify, and Steam. Currently, Winget has to be manually installed, but later it should come bundled with Windows.
