📖 Description

Refreshes the doc/windows/package-manager/winget/ reference doc mirror to accurately reflect current live winget.exe CLI behavior (v1.30.100-preview):

  • Updated install.md, upgrade.md, show.md, source.md, search.md, list.md, uninstall.md, hash.md, validate.md, settings.md, features.md, export.md, import.md to match live --help output, fixing stale/missing options (e.g. --dependencies-only on install).
  • Added 6 new pages for previously undocumented commands: pin.md, configure.md, download.md, repair.md, dscv3.md, mcp.md.
  • Updated index.md to list and link all 18 top-level commands.

This mirror is intended as a staging area to validate CLI doc changes locally before contributing corrected content upstream to Microsoft Learn.

Created with GitHub Copilot's assistance.

🔍 Validation

Compared every command page against the exact output of winget --help and winget <command> --help (and relevant subcommand --help) run locally against the installed v1.30.100-preview client. No content outside doc/windows/package-manager/winget/ was changed.
