✨ apt-swarm — the manual page but make it cute ✨

okay bestie, welcome to apt-swarm 💖 this is the apt-swarm(1) page, User Commands section, and honestly? it's giving ✨distributed package gossip✨. sit down, grab a boba, and let's go 🧋🦋

🌈 SYNOPSIS

apt-swarm [OPTIONS] <COMMAND>

so it's apt-swarm, then optionally some <OPTIONS>, then a <COMMAND> — and no, you can't skip the command, she needs a task fr fr 💅

💜 DESCRIPTION

🎀 Commands:

these are all the little verbs you can hand to apt-swarm. each one is its own main character 👑

  • import — pull in signed InRelease files. like, bring them into the house 🏠
  • export — spit back out every InRelease file she knows about. bye girl, go be free 🦋
  • fetch — go grab the freshest InRelease files and slam-dunk them straight into import 🔥
  • latest — ask "hey, what's the newest release for this key?" and get your answer 🔍
  • ls — list out the hashes of all the releases she's keeping track of. inventory vibes 📋
  • keyring — show every single key that's currently set up for monitoring. the whole guest list 🎟️
  • pull — connect to a remote node and sync all their stuff over to you. taking notes from a friend 📥
  • p2p — run in p2p swarm mode. this is the full peer-to-peer era, no cap 🌐
  • plumbing — the low-level backstage access, for when you wanna get up close and personal with the internals 🔧
  • help — prints this very message, or help for whichever subcommand you point at. the classic "help me help you" 🫶

💅 OPTIONS

every single flag, laid out like a lil friendship bracelet 🎀

  • -v, --verbose... — crank the logging up. and yes, you can stack it multiple times for extra chaos 📢
  • -q, --quiet... — turn the logging down. also stackable, multiple times, if you're feeling shy 🙈
  • -c, --config <CONFIG> — tell her which config file to use 📁
  • --proxy <PROXY> — set up a socks5 proxy for outgoing connections. going through a lil tunnel 🕳️✨
  • --data-path <DATA_PATH> — where should the persistent data live? you decide. (env var: APT_SWARM_DATA_PATH= ) 🗂️
  • -C, --colors — always turn on colored output. rainbow time, no negotiation 🌈
  • -h, --help — print help 🆘
  • -V, --version — print version 📌
heads up bestie: nothing here is deprecated or dangerous, but a couple of these (like --data-path / APT_SWARM_DATA_PATH) tell her where your stuff is stored, so keep that path somewhere sensible, okay? 🫶

and that's the whole page!! slay ✨ this one's from apt-swarm 0.6.0, dated May 2026, and it lives at APT-SWARM(1) in the User Commands section. k bye, love u, go sync something 💖🎀🦋
