## Install Extras repo in scoop ##

scoop bucket add extras

## Install apps via scoop ##

scoop install main/coreutils
scoop install main/make
scoop install main/gawk
scoop install main/sed
scoop install main/gsudo
scoop install main/xz
scoop install main/base64
scoop install extras/pass-winmenu-nogpg
scoop install extras/pasteboard
scoop install main/pyenv

## Unused installs
# Uncomment if you'd like to use the following
# scoop install extras/jenv
# winget install -e --id Rustlang.Rustup
# scoop install main/redis

UPDATE: Just adding install script for both Winget & scoop. Separated the winget and scoop installs.

NOTE: neofetch was listed as a potentially unwanted app, possible due to the following:

• The way the installer extracts and runs temporary files in user AppData Temp folders
• Usage patterns that are typical for tools which access system information or system details
• Neofetch being uncommon in Windows environments, so antivirus heuristics may err on caution and flag it as potentially unwanted
• Potential false positives from detection engines because it might resemble certain toolkits or scripts recognized as PUA or hack tools, especially when packaged as MSI installers

Here are three links that eased my mind on this.

1. Github Project
2. defender detecting Microsoft software as a threat and who tf is nepnep
3. Github Issue Tracker item

UPDATE: Added scoop bucket add extras so that scoop can install pasteboard and pass-winmenu-nogpg. Also allows jenv (for the Java environment) to be installed.
