Pin Command (choco pin)

Pin a package to suppress upgrades.

This is especially helpful when running [[choco upgrade|Commandsupgrade]] for all packages, as it will automatically skip those packages. Another alternative is choco upgrade --except="pkg1,pk2".

Usage

choco pin [list]|add|remove [<options/switches>]

Examples

choco pin   
choco pin list  
choco pin add -n=git
choco pin add -n=git --version 1.2.3
choco pin remove --name git

Options and Switches

NOTE: Options and switches apply to all items passed, so if you are running a command like install that allows installing multiple packages, and you use --version=1.0.0, it is going to look for and try to install version 1.0.0 of every package passed. So please split out multiple package calls when wanting to pass specific options.

Includes [[default options/switches|CommandsReference#default-options-and-switches]] (included below for completeness).
