Intro

apt-cyg is a command-line installer for Cygwin which cooperates with Cygwin Setup and uses the same repository. The syntax is similar to apt-get. Usage examples:

• "apt-cyg install " to install packages
• "apt-cyg remove " to remove packages
• "apt-cyg update" to update setup.ini
• "apt-cyg show" to show installed packages
• "apt-cyg find <pattern(s)>" to find packages matching patterns
• "apt-cyg search " to find packages matching patterns (alias of find)
• "apt-cyg describe <pattern(s)>" to describe packages matching patterns
• "apt-cyg packageof " to locate parent packages

# curl -o /usr/bin/apt-cyg https://raw.github.com/cfg/apt-cyg/master/apt-cyg
# chmod +x /usr/bin/apt-cyg
