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
