Unlike simple package lists from winget import/export, configuration files can install packages, enable Windows settings like Developer Mode, install Visual Studio workloads, set environment variables, and define dependencies. The files are idempotent and can include assertions for system requirements. GitHub Copilot CLI can generate these configuration files from natural language prompts, convert existing scripts, and explain existing configs. Developers can export their current machine state to create reproducible configurations and store them in project repositories for team consistency. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
