Hello 42 angouleme student here,
Loved your program to install packages on 42 sessions, decided to implement more parsing and add searching ability instead of asking the user to do apt-cache search.

Hi, thank you for the PR, I will look into it soon!

And apologies for the late response, this repository was not monitored until now.

Hi, after reviewing the code it looks clean. However, capt is not meant to be a wrapper around apt all together, but rather a wrapper around apt install specifically to allow installation to the user's home. Searching through the apt cache falls out of scope for this project. Better let students use the real apt-cache search, which has more functionality too.

If you still want to contribute to this project, an uninstall feature does need to be added still. And adding colors and better parsing is a nice addition too. A tip for the future: often it's better to split up your PRs per feature, e.g. creating one for the parsing/colors and one for capt search.
