Ugh, I tried looking into the state of codesigning foss apps for windows, and it's not great it seems.

https://github.com/gerardog/gsudo/issues/1#issuecomment-2111...

suggests either:

https://github.com/Azure/trusted-signing-action

Which is 10 USD/month - or publishing in the windows store:

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/apps/publish/?tabs...

https://github.com/marketplace/actions/microsoft-store-publi...

Not free either, but one time fee:

Yeah, it’s weird on Windows.

I paid Apple $99/year for code signing on Mac but at least it worked seamlessly. On Windows it seemed like the code signing process varies depending on where you buy the certificate from!

Azure looks good, but won’t approve you unless your company is 3 years old. They include this little important detail way to late in their docs (after you pay)
