$ choco install git vscode -y02What it does
Chocolatey brings a package manager to Windows, so a new machine can be provisioned from a single script and updates scheduled. That reproducibility across many hosts is something manual installer downloads cannot match.
03Risk
!Warning: Community packages run install scripts with admin rights; review the package source and pin versions in managed environments.
04Undo
✓No undo needed — this command does not change persistent state.
