Installing GitHub CLI from WinGet is not straightforward.
I would have thought that calling for it by "gh" or "github" or "github.cli" would have installed it sensibly.
Instead, it appears the store search database is returning completely irrelevant things and getting in the way.
Steps to reproduce
C:\Windows\system32>winget install gh

GitHub CLI GitHub.cli winget
Expected behavior
Github CLI is installed
Actual behavior
I have no idea why it's giving me terrible store results for either of my queries and not just installing the thing.

A fix was supposed to be pushed for this yesterday, guess it didn't happen. For the meantime, append -s winget to your commands to force winget to only search the community repo.
