        Hey,
        Am a new UT user. Installed it on a Pixel 3a and I must say I'm loving it.
        I have been using a de-google OS LineageOS w/Micro-g with a few teaks for about a year. Am no programmer but know my around around puters some.

        Anyway...enough intro.
        I can't find anything on here that has to do with CLI and UT.
        Just as an example, I was looking to install an app and found out by accident that I could use 'apt-get update'. (Funny thing is that it gave me 256 upgradable packages while in System Settings/About it didn't show any updates avail.)
        So...if I'm out-to-lunch don't be shy to tell me and/or if there is a place/post which has to do with CLI commands please let me know.
        I doubt very much this subject would have been assumed.

        Thank you for a job well done.

        UT/Pixel 3a as my daily driver an' lovin' it

          In this post, you'll find four tutorials about using the terminal (CLI) on UT: https://forums.ubports.com/topic/2008/the-ubports-tutorial-links-collection

            @ckrnkfrnchmn the reason you see updates in the terminal using apt-get upgrade and not system settings, is because system settings doesnt use apt, apt isnt officially supported by Ubuntu Touch.

            You can use apt but thats on your back if anything breaks, and you may need to reinstall apps installed via apt again after certain updates, Libertine is the only way to officially use apt, but that can still be hit or miss due to relying on 16.04 repos if youre on xenial, and I dont beleive it works yet on Focal.
