Usage

• Install a application

  To install an Application from GitHub you can use the install command where user is the github repo owner and repo is the repository name

  bread install user/repo

  You can install an application from a different Tag too!

  bread install user/repo tagname

• Run a application from remote

  If you want to run a application from remote without installing it you can use the run command

  bread run user/repo

  You can pass CLI arguments to the application too like this bread run user/repo -- --arg1 --arg2

  You can clear the download cache using clean command bread clean, Since all the applications you run from remote are cached so that it isn't downloaded everytime

• Remove a application

  you can remove a installed application using the remove command

  bread remove user/repo

• Update a application

  You can update a application using the update command

  bread update user/repo

  if you just want to check if update is available you can use the --check flag

  bread update user/repo --check

  if you want to update all the applications you can use the --all flag

  bread update --all

  the --check & --all flag can be used together

  bread update --all --check

• Search for an application

  You can search for a application from the AppImage API

  bread search "Your search text"

• List all the installed application

  You can list all the installed applications using list command

  bread list

  You can also get the SHA-1 Hash of the appimages using the -s or --show-sha1 Flag

  bread list -s

  You can also get the GitHub release tag -t or --show-tag Flag

  bread list -t

• Note

  Often there are many times when the GitHub user and repo both are same, for example libresprite, so in this case you can just specify single name like this bread install libresprite, this works with all the commands
