winget --version will output the version of the tool
Given the logic that you can enter -? at any level reminds me much of Cisco IOS and speaking for Windows
fsutil
netsh
dism
but it is not overly very common in Windows to have the ability to specify /? any time with the previous level of commands. Some have it some have not.
Thanks for giving me the idea winget would favour this. Powershell does not offer a context sensitive help, quite unfortunately.
Before this dupe is entirely wasted time, please let us have a PR to make the winget ? more pointing out to this.
Still I see a inconsistency with the commandline options, we might discuss this in a new bug / feature request:
example
winget ? = help (fallback)
winget /? = help (fallback)
winget -? = help
winget --? = help
next level:
winget install ? or winget install /?
"no matching criteria"
winget install --? works
winget install -? works
Albeit help says: Wenn Sie weitere Details zu einem bestimmten Befehl erfahren möchten, übergeben Sie ihm das Hilfe-Argument. [-?]
I would rather see it here
Die folgenden Optionen stehen zur Verfügung:
-v,--version Version des Tools anzeigen
--info Allgemeine Informationen zum Tool anzeigen
-?, --? kontextsensitive Hilfe.
Wenn Sie weitere Details zu einem bestimmten Befehl erfahren möchten,
übergeben Sie ihm das Hilfe-Argument
Mind we are still on Windows, and -- commandlines are not common here. For a new tool like winget, which I see a bright future and major positive impact, we should not be dev-oriented but user oriented striving for consistency and clear and concise UX without reading docs, eventually with command lines everything should to work /? or ? see also, I refrain, microsoft/terminal#4632 (comment)
Otherwise winget is a Linux User friendly command line tool, but not so Windows user friendly.
IF we want to drop /? in favour for -? or --? or even ? I am absolutely ok with that
Then please leave a remark when winget /? is issued "please use -? or --? for help"
