Origin

~~ Package Management Detective ~~

Gather package management info for a command or a file and print its estimated origin among manually installed packages.

Installation

mkdir -p ~/.local/bin
cp origin ~/.local/bin/
chmod +x ~/.local/bin/origin

If the directory ~/.local/bin is not in $PATH, add this line in ~/.profile or ~/.bash_profile (to be available everywhere):

PATH="$HOME/.local/bin:$PATH"

or this line in ~/.bashrc (to be available only in interactive shells):

export PATH="$HOME/.local/bin:$PATH"

Source the modified file. or open a new terminal, or log-out and log-in to your account for the change to take effect.

Usage Guide

Command

origin <command> will print the absolute (real) path of the command, the package providing it, and an estimation of the reason why the package is present on the system.

File

origin <file> will print the absolute (real) path of the file , the package providing it, and an estimation of the reason why the package is present on the system.
