# Apt Selective Upgrades
Simplify your system upgrade workflow using this set of scripts. Without the
need for any overly complicated tools; just select the packages you want to
upgrade using your favorite editor and let APT download and install them
immediately. Or choose to only download a selection of packages and install
them later.
## Usage
If necessary, edit [file](/file) to choose the location of the file containing the
temporary package list. Then, execute any of the three script, like:
```sh
./apt-selective-upgrades.sh
```
To select packages and install them immediately, use `apt-selective-upgrades.sh`
To select packages, but only download them, use
`apt-selective-upgrades-download-only.sh`
To install previously selected and downloaded packages, use
`apt-selective-upgrades-install-only.sh`
> [!NOTE]
> Please note: environment variable `EDITOR` is used to open you favorite
> editor. Make sure this variable is set properly, otherwise it may not open
> your editor of choice.
