Description

Just a suggestion, but since this is a cli tool it would be great to install it from the command line on windows :)

Research direction
The issue requests adding Chocolatey installation support for this Rust CLI tool. Implementation would involve creating a Chocolatey package (nuspec and PowerShell script) that downloads the broot binary from releases. No existing PR or maintainer guidance is provided, so the contributor should study the broot build process and refer to Chocolatey documentation for packaging conventions.
