What problem does app-get solves

Not all software installed on Linux systems comes from package manager, snap or flathub. App-get helps to update software downloaded from Github in form of deb package (other pages or appimage support may come later).

How to use it

You can download executable or deb package. It is a good idea to set add app-get to updates automatically.

sudo app-get install afelinczak/app-get

Other applications can be installed in same maner via app-get.

For example to install micro from github type.

sudo app-get install zyedidia/micro

It will install amd64 version of deb and create apps.json to track installed apps. List of apps is stored in /opt/app-get/apps.json

Now to update all the apps:

sudo app-get update

To remove application from update list:

sudo app-get remove zyedidia/micro

This my first project in Go, so codebase may be not perfect. At the moment it is more POC than something useful.
