Simple Apt Wrapper (saw)

A seriously simple wrapper around apt for Debian based systems.

Features?

You never have to worry about this:

$ apt install foo
E: Could not open lock file /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (13: Permission denied)
E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), are you root?

$ sudo apt install foo

Saw automatically handles calling sudo. Saw doesn't only work with install, though. It can be used in place of apt for every command, since it just passes all arguments straight to apt.

Is That It?

Yup.

Couldn't you have just-

Probably. I was tired when I decided that making this would have been better than making an apt and alias to sudo apt.
