Extension summary

Chocolatey is an awesome package manager for Windows. It allows installation, updates and uninstallation of software from simple commands just like package managers on other operating systems.

Problem: There's no way to select multiple packages on chocolatey.org.

Solution: Chocolate Factory adds checkboxes beside each command. Just check the packages you want to install and then click the Copy button at the bottom of the page. A single command for installing the selected packages will be copied to the clipboard.

Two more features of Chocolate Factory:

  1. You can now click on the install command for any package and it will be copied to the clipboard.
  2. Chocolate Factory also supports importing a list of packages. It accepts the output of the 'choco list -lo' command for importing your previously installed packages.
