Hi @TayouVR and sorry for the late reply. Are you aware of any automated solutions to release to Scoop?

[TayouVR]

scoop can automatically fetch new releases from github releases or ci if the package manifest is setup that way.
I have not created any scoop packages myself, so I'm not the most knowledgeable about that.
If I were to create that manifest myself i would take a look at the games/prismlauncher and versions/prismlauncher-git packages respectively and kinda copy that a little (as I'm involved with that project). Otherwise, scoop has documentation here:
https://github.com/ScoopInstaller/Scoop/wiki/App-Manifests
https://github.com/ScoopInstaller/Scoop/wiki/App-Manifest-Autoupdate

edit: for a git package it seems Prism Launcher is using nightly.link to fetch new versions. I suppose accessing github ci directly isn't possible because of account requirement

I opened a PR for an EverythingToolbar manifest in the Extras bucket. Reviews seem to be rather slow though.
