apt-cyg

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 <package names>" to install packages
• "apt-cyg remove <package names>" 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 describe <pattern(s)>" to describe packages matching patterns
• "apt-cyg packageof <commands or files>" to locate parent packages
