Deployment Method:

NOTE

This applies to both open source and commercial editions of Chocolatey.

1. Enter Your Internal Repository Url

(this should look similar to https://community.chocolatey.org/api/v2/)


2. Setup Your Environment

1. Ensure you are set for organizational deployment

Please see the organizational deployment guide

2. Get the package into your environment

  • Open Source or Commercial:
    • Proxy Repository - Create a proxy nuget repository on Nexus, Artifactory Pro, or a proxy Chocolatey repository on ProGet. Point your upstream to https://community.chocolatey.org/api/v2/. Packages cache on first access automatically. Make sure your choco clients are using your proxy repository as a source and NOT the default community repository. See source command for more information.
    • You can also just download the package and push it to a repository Download

3. Copy Your Script

choco upgrade switchbar -y --source="'INTERNAL REPO URL'" [other options]

See options you can pass to upgrade.

See best practices for scripting.

Add this to a PowerShell script or use a Batch script with tools and in places where you are calling directly to Chocolatey. If you are integrating, keep in mind enhanced exit codes.

If you do use a PowerShell script, use the following to ensure bad exit codes are shown as failures:


choco upgrade switchbar -y --source="'INTERNAL REPO URL'" 
$exitCode = $LASTEXITCODE

Write-Verbose "Exit code was $exitCode"
$validExitCodes = @(0, 1605, 1614, 1641, 3010)
if ($validExitCodes -contains $exitCode) {
  Exit 0
}

Exit $exitCode

Description

Browser picker

Have multiple browsers? Switchbar prompts you to pick which browser you prefer whenever you click on any link. Switch between Chrome, Edge, Firefox and more with ease!

Browser profile picker

Have multiple browser profiles? Switchbar prompts you to pick which profile you prefer whenever you click on any link. Compatible profiles of Chrome, Edge, Firefox, Brave, Vivaldi, Sidekick and many other browsers.

Email client picker

Beside supporting browsers, Switchbar lets you select which email client (e.g. Apple Mail, Spark, Outlook) to use when you click on an email link.

Rules

Powerful behavior rules mean that Switchbar can pick the right browser or email client without prompting you. Always want links from your company website to open in Chrome? No problem.

Handoff

Open a link on one Apple device, then switch to another nearby device and pick up where you left off.

URL unshortener

Unshorten URLs created by URL shortening services (such as bit.ly, tinyurl.com) and reveal the original URLs.

Tracking parameter stripper

Automatically remove tracking or redundant parameters from URLs to make them cleaner and more private.

Deep linking

Prefer to open web links in desktop apps instead of your browser? Use Switchbar to send and open links in popular desktop apps including Airtable, Figma, Jira, Linear, Notion, Trello.

Browser extensions

Switchbar browser extensions integrate the app with your favorite browsers (including Google Chrome, Microsoft Edge, Safari, Opera, Brave and Vivaldi), so you can move a web page from one browser to another at the click of a button.

Powerful API

Switchbar API lets developers trigger Switchbar from their own scripts and programs. It works from the Terminal, AppleScript, or anywhere you can open a URL.

WebCatalog integration

Switchbar will automatically scan for all the apps you installed from WebCatalog and let you quickly open links using the most suitable apps. For example, whenever you open a trello.com link, Switchbar will prompt you to open it in the Trello app instead of your browser.


tools\chocolateybeforemodify.ps1
# This runs before upgrade or uninstall.
# Use this file to do things like stop services prior to upgrade or uninstall.
# NOTE: It is an anti-pattern to call chocolateyUninstall.ps1 from here. If you
#  need to uninstall an MSI prior to upgrade, put the functionality in this
#  file without calling the uninstall script. Make it idempotent in the
#  uninstall script so that it doesn't fail when it is already uninstalled.
# NOTE: For upgrades - like the uninstall script, this script always runs from
#  the currently installed version, not from the new upgraded package version.

Moderators do not necessarily validate the safety of the underlying software, only that a package retrieves software from the official distribution point and/or validate embedded software against official distribution point (where distribution rights allow redistribution).
