Features
Unified command interface
Each operating system (OS) has its own package management tool, which requires different commands to complete the same operation. This can be inconvenient when switching between or trying new OSs.
With upt, You just need to remember one command:
Upt identifies the os type and runs the appropriate package management tool to install $pkg.
Act as other command
Upt can act as other command and use their syntax by renaming.
In this way, you can use the syntax of the tool you are most familiar with to manage packages.
