# apt.rs

### Introduction
Whenever I set up Linux on a new computer, I always have
my configuration ready to go, since I keep my configuration files 
synced in a GitHub repo. However, while I can easily get vim and zsh settings
up and running, I always find myself reinstalling a whole bunch of
apt packages. 

Because of this, I wanted to make a sort of `Cargo.toml`, or `requirements.txt` 
that works in conjucntion with apt. This can be used personally, or in projects
that may require certain programs to be installed.

In its current phase, the project is limited, though very simple. I hope
to extend it to include more apt setup commands, and also at some point
branch out to other packaged managers, like pacman, yaourt, etc.

### Usage Instructions
The basic flow for using apt.rs is creating a `Packages.toml` file
with entries for all of your required dependencies. Apt.rs will look for
different sections (note in a `toml` file, a section looks like this: `[section_name]`):
* `[dependencies]`: These are the actual package names/versions to install.
    Each entry is the package name, followed by either a version code or `"*"` for the newest available
    version.
* `[ppas]`: Some packages may come from external PPAs. Apt.rs will add these first,
    and then run the dependency install phase afterwards.
