I started using scoop myself recently. However, not all apps I install are portable. Thus, I don't see how committing the entire scoop folder to a git repo helps.

Secondly, I wish there was a video guide for setting up personal buckets and auto update them. I still haven't been able to do this.

Absolutely! That's why I configured the git repo inside C:\Users\<user>\scoop\persist instead of the scoop root folder. Furthermore, you wouldn't want to add to the repo the entire persist folder, there are some things like local caches that you don't want to push them.

I never thought that but true!
