Description

WinGet CLI

Description of the new feature / enhancement

These two options are likely often used but very long to type and difficult to remember. A single letter alias for each would be very useful, easier to remember, and time saving.

Research direction

Start in the WinGet CLI command definitions by searching for --accept-package-agreements and --accept-source-agreements, then inspect how existing short options are declared and tested. Choose non-conflicting single-letter aliases and verify that both long and short forms are accepted and produce the same behavior.
