Name
apt - Advanced Package Tool
Description

APT is a management system for software packages. Originally written for Debian and the deb package format, APT was ported and became APT-RPM to manage the rpm(8) package format. APT-RPM can be used by any RPM-based distribution, such as Conectiva, Red Hat, SUSE, ALT-Linux, etc.

So, that’s why apt was introduced. But why should you use it? These examples explain.

In Short: No More GET

apt-get install [packagename]

apt install [packagename]
In general, this change occurs across all previous apt-get commands. But with the introduction of apt comes some extra functionality. Software upgrades and removal now all have additional options, from installing multiple packages to purging packages from your system.
