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 list [pattern(s)] to list packages matching given pattern. If no pattern is given, list all installed packages.
apt-cyg show <pattern(s)> to show packages matching patterns
apt-cyg search <commands or files> to locate parent packages

Quick start

apt-cyg is a simple script. Once you have a copy, make it executable:

chmod +x /bin/apt-cyg

Optionally place apt-cyg in a bin/ folder on your path.

Then use apt-cyg, for example:

apt-cyg install nano
