On the surface this looks like a useful project. If you plan to use it, do yourself a favor and avoid looking at the source code.

I don't really see what this program would gain from an "enterprise fizzbuzz" implementation. It is simple, it works, everyone can understand the code and update it. That is actually very valuable, especially for a project like this which tends to need maintenance to keep alive (whenever some wrapped command changes).
Adding polymorphism for easier maintenance does not mean "enterprise fizzbuzz". I'm talking about one 1 abstract class to define the interface and 1 implementation class per package manager. That's N+1 classes (N = # of package managers). It means all logic for a specific package manager is gathered in one place instead of spread out over many files and the compiler can prevent us making stupid mistakes like forgetti…
I think the best point for class implementation you mention is to have all the related stuff in one place. That convinces me most =)

The same author has previously implemented the same thing in Python, https://github.com/termget/termget . It's linked in the readme.
I am the author. I did not created TermGet, I'm just a developer of it. TermGet works different then sysget. TermGet is an console based interface where sysget only works with system arguments which is way more efficent.
I am the author of TermGet. TermGet is sort of like TermGet, but it has an interface. I wanted to make TermGet a cross platform software center for you terminal. I am only 13, and school has made it hard for me to find time for development, so TermGet development has slowed down. When I do have time TermGet is my favorite project to work on, and I'm probably not going to discontinue it until I run out of features to add. I need more feature ideas because TermGet has so many features, I'm running out of ideas.
