It looks like there needs to be a publicly available source for the signed package. I've not been able to publish the signed package yet. I was hoping I could point to the Microsoft Store as the source, but that is not the case as far as I can tell.

Perhaps Text-Grab could be added to scoop in the meantime?

PR for addition opened here ScoopInstaller/Extras#7071 :)

@hmnd Looks good to me, do I need to do anything or will that PR include Text Grab into scoop?

[hmnd]

@TheJoeFin Awesome! I think the PR is all that's needed :)

If you provide a installer that just saves the exe in a folder and creates a start menu shortcut in the github releases. this can be easily implemented.

then you can just create a GitHub action like this, that automatically creates a update PR when you make a release:

name: Submit TheJoeFin.Text-Grab package to Windows Package Manager Community Repository 
# based off of https://github.com/nushell/nushell/blob/main/.github/workflows/winget-submission.yml

on:
  workflow_dispatch:
  release:
    types: [published]

jobs:

  winget:
    name: Publish winget package
    runs-on: windows-latest
    steps:
      - name: Submit package to Windows Package Manager Community Repository
        run: |
          
          $wingetPackage = "TheJoeFin.Text-Grab"
          $gitToken = "${{ secrets.PT_WINGET }}"

          $github = Invoke-RestMethod -uri "https://api.github.com/repos/TheJoeFin/Text-Grab/releases" 

          $targetRelease = $github | Where-Object -Property name -match 'Text Grab'| Select -First 1
          $installerUrl = $targetRelease | Select -ExpandProperty assets -First 1 | Where-Object -Property name -match 'Text-Grab.*' | Select -ExpandProperty browser_download_url
          $ver = $targetRelease.tag_name.Trim("v")

          # getting latest wingetcreate file

          .\wingetcreate.exe update $wingetPackage -s -v $ver -u $installerUrl -t $gitToken
