# Winget

> Since: v1.19

After releasing to GitHub, GitLab, or Gitea, GoReleaser can generate and publish
a _winget manifest_ and commit to a git repository, and PR it to `winget-pkgs`
if instructed to.

The `winget` section specifies how the **manifests** should be created:

```yaml
# .goreleaser.yaml

    # versions from the build section.

    # Setting this will prevent goreleaser to actually try to commit the updated
    # package - instead, it will be stored on the dist directory only,
    # leaving the responsibility of publishing it to the user.
