What shell scripts would help here? I love me some shell scripting but always reached for debfoster before falling in love with Pac-Man's `-Qe` and `-Qt`

Edit: oh this aptfile doesn't do the one thing I actually use brew bundle for: cleaning up the mess of leftover packages

I've been loving the Alpine Package Keeper, especially easily maintaining desired packaging state in /etc/apk/world

What is this tool solving that I can't do with apt+bash already?
Probably nothing other than the fact that you don't have to maintain it and have less worries about portability, like most command line utilities.

Still, can you share your script?
