AI do not involve much within the core function; the only thing I'd let Copilot do is getting the package name and mode from command line. Gemini only recommend me some ways to extract package versions from `apt-cache`.\n\n## Usage\nGo to release and download arb. Put to somewhere in your $PATH (e.g. /usr/local/bin).\n\nTo downgrade a package, run: `arb \u003cpackage name\u003e`\n\nTo pinpoint (let on hold) a package, run: `arb pp \u003cpackage name\u003e`\n\nTo unpinpoint (release from hold) a package, run: `arb unpp \u003cpackage name\u003e`\n\n## To-do\n- [x] adding a pinpoint and unpinpoint function. That should be easy.\n- [ ] reformat the code. It's a mess now\n\n## Why?\nA lot of people are using Debian experimental or such distro (e.g. PikaOS). Sometimes a package is so buggy that you would want to go back, but apt have no direct command to do that. So I wrote this. \n\n## Notes\n- apt-rollback can work with packages from differrent repositories (e.g. packages from experimental in a sid system), provided that the package is installed.\n- apt-rollback can not be used to install older version of a package.\n- The pinpoint function can be used on non-downgraded package\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fimchocomint%2Fapt-rollback","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fimchocomint%2Fapt-rollback","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fimchocomint%2Fapt-rollback/lists"}
