       @ariadne Install "docs" to automatically install documentation for installed packages.

       @ariadne touch /etc/apk/interactive is probably my best tip. Especially if you are sometimes hand editing /etc/apk/world like I do.

       @ariadne * apk allows to use `cmd:$command` and `so:$soname` as package targets* The lbu utility allows to backup modified configuration files and if configured some extra directories as well* Want to temporarily install multiple packages? `apk add -t $virtual_name $packages` which can then be removed with `apk del $virtual_name`Incidentally those are also features I love about Alpine.

       @ariadne It might be nice to record some things about the history of alpine in there as well as tips? I love reading about that sort of stuff
