xbpsman is a terminal/cli front-end to xbps to make managing packages easier. It's a menu-driven bash script using gum. I may have pv as an optional dependency in the near future.
Right now, you can update packages, search and add packages, and remove packages with this.
There will be more added to this in the future.
- gum (can be installed with the installer for xbpsman)
- go (only if you decide to install gum from the go repositories, which tends to be more up to date)
