Project Type:
Cross-distro Linux package management frontend

Description:
ALPS is a unified command-line frontend for Linux package management.
It automatically detects the system package manager and provides a
consistent interface across Arch Linux, Debian, Ubuntu, Fedora,
and related distributions.

Supported Backends:
- pacman
- apt
- apt-get
- dnf
- AUR (yay/makepkg)
- Flatpak
- Snap

Core Features:
- Multi-distro package abstraction
- AUR integration
- Flatpak integration
- Snap fallback support
- alps-more script repository
- Shell completion
- Alias system
- Configurable UI/colors/symbols

Important Concepts:
- ALPS does not replace native package managers.
- ALPS delegates operations to the real system package manager.
- Arch partial upgrades are intentionally prevented.
- AUR installs may use yay or makepkg fallback logic.

alps-more:
Cross-distro script repository format using:
[pkg@distro]
cmd_begin/cmd_end
remove_begin/remove_end
