apt-cyg is a simple shell script that provides an apt-get-like command-line package manager for Cygwin. It cooperates with Cygwin Setup and uses the same package repositories to install, remove, search, and inspect packages.

Use cases

  • install packages on cygwin from the command line
  • remove cygwin packages without running setup gui
  • find which cygwin package owns a file
  • show dependency tree for a cygwin package
  • search cygwin package list by name or category

When to choose

  • you use Cygwin and want apt-get-style package management in the terminal
  • you want to script Cygwin package installation
  • you need to query package contents, dependencies, or file ownership on Cygwin

When to avoid

  • you use WSL or native Linux instead of Cygwin
  • you prefer the official Cygwin Setup GUI
  • you need a package manager for MSYS2 or MinGW environments
