🌸 NAME 🌸

apt-clone — bestie, this is the manual page for apt-clone 0.2 💅

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

okay so here's the vibe. the usage goes like this, literally:

apt-clone [-h] [--debug] {info,clone,restore,restore-new-distro}
...

what does it do?? it clones and restores package info of a debian based system or a chroot environment. that's the whole main character moment ✨

✨ optional arguments ✨

• -h, --help — shows you the help message for apt-clone. and get this: --help will alternatively output command specific help for any of the {info,clone,restore,restore-new-distro} commands 🫶
• --debug — turns on debug output. for when u wanna see everything 👀

🎀 Commands 🎀

the command choices are: {info,clone,restore,restore-new-distro}

• info — shows info about an apt-clone archive 📋
• clone — creates a clone-file into <destination>. a alternative source dir can be specified with --source 💾
• restore — restores a clone file from <source>. a alternative destination can be given with --destination 🌈
• restore-new-distro — restores a clone file from <source> to <destination> and tries upgrading along the way. this can be used so that the current release is cloned, a new install is done and then the old clone is installed 🔥 like, glow up the whole system bestie, no cap.

ngl the vibes here are immaculate — clone ur packages, restore ur packages, upgrade ur distro, all in one little tool. periodt. 👑
