Chisel is a software tool for carving and cutting Debian packages!

Chisel can derive a minimal Ubuntu-like Linux distribution using a release database that defines "slices" of existing packages. Slices enable developers to cherry-pick just the files they need from the Ubuntu archives, and combine them to create a new filesystem which can be packaged into an OCI-compliant container image or similar.

Usage: chisel <command> [<options>...]

Commands can be classified as follows:

Basic: help, version Action: cut

For more information about a command, run 'chisel help <command>'. For a short summary of all commands, run 'chisel help --all'.

This snap can only install the slices in a location inside the user $HOME directory i.e. the --root option in "cut" command should have a location inside the user $HOME directory.
