How does apt-get work?

Apt-get is a command-line package management utility used in Debian-based operating systems, such as Ubuntu. It simplifies the installation, removal, and upgrade of software packages. When executed with the appropriate commands, apt-get fetches packages and their dependencies from software repositories configured on the system. It checks for updates, resolves dependencies, and downloads the required packages to the local machine. Once the packages are downloaded, apt-get installs them, keeping track of installed files and managing software versions. Apt-get is widely used for its simplicity, flexibility, and extensive software repository support.
