MyApps

MyApps is a universal command line tool for managing manually installed applications.

Disclaimer

I wrote this tool over two long nights while preparing my reports and studying for college. I don't have the strength or time to write nice documentation. Just check the built-in help.

Linter, linter of the Go, code's not prettiest of them all.

Installation

# Let's say that you downloaded the latest release asset "myapps.tgz"
tar -xzf myapps.tgz
sudo ./install.sh

Usage

Just run the myapps command and check usage information.

Repositories

Use subcommands of myapps repo to manage the repositories.

Example repository structure

name: default
description: Default repository
maintainer: MyApps
contents: []
  # - name: applicationName
  #   description: Application description
  #   install_scenario:
  #     - some_commands
  #     - some_other_commands
