Scoop.sh is a command-line installer for Windows. It allows users to easily install and manage command-line tools and applications, similar to the way that package managers work on Linux and macOS. Scoop can be used to install a wide variety of software, including programming languages, text editors, and development tools. It is designed to make it easy to install and update software on Windows, and is particularly useful for developers who work on Windows and want to use the same tools as their colleagues who use Linux or macOS.
