Repak in File Explorer menu
Adds a registry key so that when you right click a folder in Windows' File Explorer, an option shows up that turns that folder into a .pak file, with compression by default.
Saves time having to open command prompt and whatever.
Disclaimer
While I have tested this on my own Windows 11 system, and no issues have occured, editing the Windows Registry can potentially cause system issues if done incorrectly. Please back up your registry and data before making changes. By using this tool, you accept full responsibility for any potential problems.
Download options
There are two download options. One is the Python version, and one is the executable version. Both require admin permissions to run, as you are editing the Windows Registry. I understand that some may not want to run a random executable with admin permissions, so I have included the original Python script this was made from as a download option as well.
The executable is an easy solution for users that do not want to mess with the command line too much, and do not have Python installed.
Both options still require the installation of repak_cli, choose the shell script
(you can also download the .sh file and run that)
You need Git for Windows to use this, run Git Bash then type the command or run the file using it.
To install this tool, either run install.exe as admin, or open a command prompt window as admin, navigate to the script and run it.
To uninstall this tool, either run uninstall.exe as admin, or open a command prompt window as admin, navigate to the script and run it.

cd /d
+ the path to the folder of the python script, then run the script from there.
