One package manager to rule them all
sysget is a bridge that lets you use one syntax to every package manager on every unix-based operating system.
You probably all know the problem when you are on a new distro and don't know anything about the package manager. With sysget you just need to remember one syntax for every package manager.
The syntax is mostly same with apt so it should be easy to use.
Please take a look at the docs/ folder.
In a nutshell:
make && sudo make install
No dependencies needed
To search for a package
sysget search To install a package
sysget install To remove a package
sysget remove To update the database
sysget updateTo upgrade the system
sysget upgradeTo upgrade a specific package
sysget upgrade To remove orphans
sysget autoremoveTo clean the cache of the package manager
sysget clean| Environment Variable | Function |
|---|---|
| SYSGET_CONFIG_PATH | Ability to change the path of the sysget config file |
| SYSGET_CUSTOM_PATH | Ability to change the path of the file for a custom package manager |
| SYSGET_ARGS_PATH | Ability to change the path of the for custom arguments |
The file where the package manager is stored is located at /etc/sysget/sysget
The optional file where a custom package manager is stored at /etc/sysget/custom
sysget also has the ability that you can add your own package manager.
Simply create the file /etc/sysget_custom and then write 8 lines into it.
One line for one command.
The order is: search, install, remove, autoremove, update, upgrade, upgrade_pkg, clean
Similar to adding your own package manager you can also modify the syntax of sysget. For example you can give sysget the pacman syntax
Simply create the file /etc/sysget/args and add 10 lines to it.
The order is: search, install, remove, autoremove, update, upgrade, clean, set, help, about
