# XIL - XBPS Interpreter Layer

I am terrible at naming things...

# About

XIL (pronounce zil, as in god*zil*la) is a simple, easy to use, add-on to the XBPS package manager.

This is NOT a package manager or a replacement to XBPS as it only handles the basic commands.

Void Linux is an awesome distro that more people should be using, but the package manager can be a little weird for people who have never used a package manager or coming from Ubuntu/Fedora/etc.

So this introduces more "sane" install commands in the same way that APT and DNF handle theirs, or "interprets/translates" what the user wants into the proper XBPS command if they haven't dealt with a package manager.

It may have more "advanced" commands added eventually, but as of today it is focused on general use cases.
