Example flow | Outfitting by JFA

Example flow for selecting Windows profiles, comparing installed state, and applying package declarations.

This flow assumes the source declares the workstation and work profiles. Replace them with the comma-separated Windows profiles you want to apply.

Prepare and validate the source

outfitting-manager init --profile workstation,work

init refreshes a configured remote source by default, then validates the selected profiles. It does not install or update packages.

Inspect installed package state

outfitting-manager diff --profile workstation,work

diff compares the selected profiles’ WinGet and Scoop declarations with installed package state. It is read-only; differences produce a nonzero exit status.

Apply the selected profiles

outfitting-manager apply --profile workstation,work

apply installs missing packages declared by the selected profiles’ WinGet and optional Scoop manifests. Review the plan and confirm when prompted. Applied state remains local. Use --winget-only to skip Scoop or --yes to apply the plan without prompting. See Windows commands for pruning and package-manager details.

Package upgrades are separate from reconciliation. Run update with exactly one manager, winget or scoop, only when you intend to upgrade already-installed packages.
