How to Contribute?

Testing

  • Test the latest changes to WinUtil by running the pre-release and reporting issues you are encountering to help us continually improve WinUtil!

Run the latest pre-release

irm christitus.com/windev | iex
+

Keep in mind

This is a pre-release and should be treated as such. It exists for developers to test the utility and report or fix bugs before they get added to the stable release. Don't use it in production!

Issues

  • If you encounter any challenges or problems with the script, I kindly request that you submit them via the "Issues" tab on the GitHub repository. By filling out the provided template, you can provide specific details about the issue, allowing me (and others in the community) to promptly address any bugs or consider feature requests.

Contribute Code

  • Pull requests are now handled directly on the MAIN branch. This was done since we can now select specific releases to launch via releases in GitHub.

  • If you're doing code changes, then you can submit a PR to main branch, but I am very selective about these.

Important

Do not use a code formatter, make massive amounts of line changes, or make multiple feature changes. EACH FEATURE CHANGE SHOULD BE IT'S OWN PULL REQUEST!

  • When creating pull requests, it is essential to thoroughly document all changes made. This includes, but is not limited to, documenting any additions made to the tweaks section and corresponding undo tweak, so users are able to remove the newly added tweaks if necessary, and comprehensive documentation is required for all code changes. Document your changes and briefly explain why you made your changes in your Pull Request Description. Failure to adhere to this format may result in the denial of the pull request. Additionally, any code lacking sufficient documentation may also be denied.

  • By following these guidelines, we can maintain a high standard of quality and ensure that the codebase remains organized and well-documented.

Note

When creating a function, please include "WPF" or "WinUtil" in the file name so it can be loaded into the runspace.

Clone the Fork

Tip

While you can make your changes directly through the Web, we recommend cloning the repo to your device using the application GitHub Desktop (available in WinUtil) to test your fork easily.

  • Install GitHub Desktop if it is not already installed.
  • Log in using the same GitHub account you used to fork WinUtil.
  • Choose the fork under "Your Repositories" and press "clone {repo name}"

  • Create a new branch and name it something relatable to your changes.

  • Now you can modify WinUtil to your liking using your preferred text editor.

Testing your changes

  • To test to see if your changes work as intended run following commands in a powershell teminal as admin:

  • Change the directory where you are running the commands to the forked project.

  • cd {path to the folder with the compile.ps1}
  • Run the following command to compile and run WinUtil:
  • .\Compile.ps1 -run

Compile

  • After seeing that your changes work properly, feel free to commit the changes to the repository and make a PR. For help on that, follow the documentation below.

Committing the changes

  • Before committing your changes, please discard changes made to the winutil.ps1 file, like the following:

Push Commit Image

  • Now, commit your changes once you are happy with the result.

Commit Image

  • Push the changes to upload them to your fork on github.com.

Push Commit Image

Making a PR

  • To make a PR on your repo under a new branch linking to the main branch, a button will show and say Preview and Create pull request. Click that button and fill in all the information that is provided on the template. Once all the information is filled in correctly, check your PR to make sure there is not a WinUtil.ps1 file attached to the PR. Once everything is good, make the PR and wait for Chris (the maintainer) to accept or deny your PR. Once it is accepted by Chris, you will be able to see your changes in the "/windev" build.
  • If you do not see your feature in the main "/win" build, that is fine. All new changes go into the /windev build to make sure everything is working OK before going fully public.
  • Congratulations! You just submitted your first PR. Thank you so much for contributing to WinUtil.

Essential Tweaks are modifications and optimizations that are generally safe for most users to implement. These tweaks are designed to enhance system performance, improve privacy, and reduce unnecessary system activities. They are considered low-risk and are recommended for users who want to ensure their system runs smoothly and efficiently without delving too deeply into complex configurations. The goal of Essential Tweaks is to provide noticeable improvements with minimal risk, making them suitable for a wide range of users, including those who may not have advanced technical knowledge.

"},{"location":"userguide/#advanced-tweaks-caution","title":"Advanced Tweaks - CAUTION","text":"

Advanced Tweaks are intended for experienced users who have a solid understanding of their system and the potential implications of making deep-level changes. These tweaks involve more significant alterations to the operating system and can provide substantial customization. However, they also carry a higher risk of causing system instability or unintended side effects if not implemented correctly. Users who choose to apply Advanced Tweaks should proceed with caution, ensuring they have adequate knowledge and backups in place to recover if something goes wrong. These tweaks are not recommended for novice users or those unfamiliar with the inner workings of their operating system.

This feature is still in development, and you may encounter some issues with the generated images. If that happens, don't hesitate to report an issue!

Info

OSCDIMG is the tool that lets the program create ISO images. Typically, you would find this in the Windows Assessment and Deployment Kit

Some packages may remain after processing. This can happen if the packages in question are permanent or have been superseded by newer versions.

This option will exclude some applications that are essential in the event that you want or need to add a Store app later on.

Leaving this option unticked is NOT recommended unless you plan to use a third-party antivirus solution on your MicroWin installation. In that regard, don't install AVs with bad reputations or rogueware.

Leaving this option unticked is not recommended because it might break some applications that might depend on the Edge WebView2 runtime. However, if that happens, you can easily reinstall it

This makes the target image have the same hardware compatibility as the active installation. However, this means that you will only be able to install the target Windows image and take full advantage of it on computers with the same hardware. To avoid this, you'll need to customize the install.wim file of the target ISO in the 'sources` folder.

"},{"location":"userguide/#ventoy-options","title":"Ventoy options","text":"

Info

Ventoy is a solution that lets you boot to any ISO file stored on a drive. Think of it as having multiple bootable USBs in one. Do note, though, that your drive needs to have enough free space for the target ISO file.

Use the Microwin tab to create a custom Windows image & install the Windows image.

Essential Tweaks are modifications and optimizations that are generally safe for most users to implement. These tweaks are designed to enhance system performance, improve privacy, and reduce unnecessary system activities. They are considered low-risk and are recommended for users who want to ensure their system runs smoothly and efficiently without delving too deeply into complex configurations. The goal of Essential Tweaks is to provide noticeable improvements with minimal risk, making them suitable for a wide range of users, including those who may not have advanced technical knowledge.

"},{"location":"userguide/#advanced-tweaks-caution","title":"Advanced Tweaks - CAUTION","text":"

Advanced Tweaks are intended for experienced users who have a solid understanding of their system and the potential implications of making deep-level changes. These tweaks involve more significant alterations to the operating system and can provide substantial customization. However, they also carry a higher risk of causing system instability or unintended side effects if not implemented correctly. Users who choose to apply Advanced Tweaks should proceed with caution, ensuring they have adequate knowledge and backups in place to recover if something goes wrong. These tweaks are not recommended for novice users or those unfamiliar with the inner workings of their operating system.

  1. Specify the source Windows ISO to customize.

  2. Configure the debloat process.

  3. Specify the target location for the new ISO file.
  4. Let the magic happen!

Heads-up

This feature is still in development, and you may encounter some issues with the generated images. If that happens, don't hesitate to report an issue!

"},{"location":"userguide/#options","title":"Options","text":"

Info

OSCDIMG is the tool that lets the program create ISO images. Typically, you would find this in the Windows Assessment and Deployment Kit

By default, MicroWin will debloat the Pro edition, but you can choose any edition you want.

"},{"location":"userguide/#customization-options","title":"Customization options","text":"

Some packages may remain after processing. This can happen if the packages in question are permanent or have been superseded by newer versions.

This option will exclude some applications that are essential in the event that you want or need to add a Store app later on.

Leaving this option unticked is NOT recommended unless you plan to use a third-party antivirus solution on your MicroWin installation. In that regard, don't install AVs with bad reputations or rogueware.

Leaving this option unticked is not recommended because it might break some applications that might depend on the Edge WebView2 runtime. However, if that happens, you can easily reinstall it

"},{"location":"userguide/#driver-integration-options","title":"Driver integration options","text":"

This makes the target image have the same hardware compatibility as the active installation. However, this means that you will only be able to install the target Windows image and take full advantage of it on computers with the same hardware. To avoid this, you'll need to customize the install.wim file of the target ISO in the 'sources` folder.

"},{"location":"userguide/#ventoy-options","title":"Ventoy options","text":"

Info

Ventoy is a solution that lets you boot to any ISO file stored on a drive. Think of it as having multiple bootable USBs in one. Do note, though, that your drive needs to have enough free space for the target ISO file.

Tip

Use the Microwin tab to create a custom Windows image & install the Windows image.
