'Buckets'

In Scoop, buckets are collections of apps. Or, to be more specific, a bucket is a Git repository containing JSON app manifests which describe how to install an app.

Scoop has a main bucket which is bundled with Scoop and this is always available as the primary source for installing apps.

By default, when you run scoop install , it looks in the main bucket, but it's possible to install from other buckets too.
