# Simple Apt Wrapper (saw)

A seriously simple wrapper around apt for Debian based systems.

## Features?

You never have to worry about this:

```shell

$ apt install foo

E: Could not open lock file /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (13: Permission denied)

E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), are you root?

$ sudo apt install foo

```

Saw automatically handles calling `sudo`.

Saw doesn't only work with install, though. It can be used in place of apt for every command, since it just

passes all arguments straight to apt.

## Is That It?

Yup.

## Couldn't you have just-

Probably. I was tired when I decided that making this would have been better than

making an `apt` and alias to `sudo apt`.

```
