# `pkg` package manager
During my adventures I stumbled upon some useful commands for the builtin `pkg` package manager that I feel like could be useful to others.
Reinstall all packages from the repository (in case you want to sync your system state to the repositories, including downgrading packages if needed, similar to Arch's `pacman -Suu`):
```
pkg upgrade -f
```
Show packages that depend on the given package (reverse dependencies):
```
pkg info -r PACKAGE
```
Show dependencies of a given package:
```
pkg info -d PACKAGE
```
Install a package from a given repository:
```
pkg install -r REPOSITORY PACKAGE
```
Update the system from a given repository:
```
pkg upgrade -r REPOSTIORY
```
