YamlCreate.ps1

[Trenly]

Is there a reason that the YamlCreate powershell script doesn't listen for keypresses and goes based on strings when selecting whether to create a new manifest or update an existing one? Would this be something that could be, or should be, changed about it?

If you know some Powershell, feel free to go crazy with improving the YamlCreate script, i would love more contributors...
If you just have ideas, i could try to add them, but since none is giving feedback or helping with the code i have no idea what to do 🤷‍♂️

It kinda also badly need a better way to process the yaml file instead of reading line by line in raw, someone suggested using YamlDotNet but i'm unsure what we can use..

The current YamlCreate.ps1 is basically a beefed up version of the old one which KevinLaMS created over a year ago (Latest small fix)

Also wingetcreate have the potential to be a way better CLI Yaml Creator, however the development is.. slow.. and its missing the features from YamlCreate which i expected to be in v0.1

Feel free to make suggestions for the Windows Package Manager Manifest Creator as well. We want to make authoring and validating manifests easier without compromising on quality. YamlCreate has been very helpful, and iterates quickly, so use what tool works for you.

I will certainly look at filing a few over there. The last time I used the manifest creator was probably about two weeks ago, when I found that for my particular habits, using the powershell script was easier, especially given that it prompts for all the manifest fields
