I'm not sure if everyone knows this or not, but I recently learned that
apt can do just about everything that
apt-get can do and with a bit more style.
Basic commands:
list - list packages based on package names
search - search in package descriptions
show - show package details
update - update list of available packages
install - install packages
remove - remove packages
upgrade - upgrade the system by installing/upgrading packages
full-upgrade - upgrade the system by removing/installing/upgrading packages
edit-sources - edit the source information file
No more
apt-cache search...just do
apt search.
I apologize if this is common knowledge but I figured I'd share it to save people some keystrokes if they're still doing it the old way.
