Windows implemented an antivirus scan which can prevent users from using most binaries by marking them as Trojan, unless they are signed with a cerficate.

It used to be necessary to pay a hefty fee and to send legal documents back and forth in order to get a certificate with a USB dongle to sign binaries. Microsoft since release Azure Trusted Signing, which makes that process a little easier.

This article will document the steps that are necessary to automatically sign your binaries with Azure Trusted Signing in Gitlab CI.

I recently tried to port a software to Windows, and some dependencies required the Microsoft Visual Studio C++ compiler. I therefore needed to use their version of cmake, vcpkg and ninja.

As I don't like Visual Studio, I figured out how to run its terminal inside vscode and will share the hack here.
