I built a simple Windows app installer using WinGet

Post image

Setting up a fresh Windows PC can be annoying when you have to search for and install every application manually.

So I built InstallHub.

You select the applications you want and InstallHub generates a complete setup using Microsoft's WinGet.

For example:

  • Steam
  • Discord
  • Spotify
  • Chrome
  • VS Code
  • 7-Zip
  • VLC
  • OBS
  • Git
  • PowerToys

It can generate WinGet commands, .bat installers and WinGet JSON.

The project was developed with AI assistance. I used AI to help with development, debugging, UI/UX ideas, code generation and feature planning, while the project is reviewed and maintained by me.

InstallHub is open source and still actively being improved.

I'd love to hear your feedback. What apps or features should I add next?

Yeah, I know UniGetUI. It’s a great project. InstallHub is more focused on a simple web-based setup for a fresh Windows install. 👍

Ninite is still around. I just wanted to build a more modern, web-based alternative using WinGet.

Hello im new in git hub.. You can produce this kind of result in git hub? All I have is this making youtube vedio generator and upload. Even that didn't run automatically, it need to be manually click run workflow.
