apt vs apt-get

Advanced Packaging Tool (APT)'s origins start in Debian - a distro from where
many other distros started from. APT is simply set of APIs. The command 
line tools apt and apt-get interact with APT. In summary,

- apt: The more user friendlier version of the tools.
- apt-get: The older of the two, backwards compatible and OG developer focused.
(there are others: apt-cache, ...)

Conclusion: Stick with apt if you can. Use apt-get if you need specific function
alities that are otherwise unavialable. Doesnt matter much anyways none are dep
recated!

what is deffrent between apt and apt-get

DIFFERENCES TO APT-GET(8)
   The apt command is meant to be pleasant for end users and does not need
   to be backward compatible like apt-get(8). Therefore some options are
   different:

   ·   The option DPkg::Progress-Fancy is enabled.
   ·   The option APT::Color is enabled.
   ·   A new list command is available similar to dpkg --list.
   ·   The option upgrade has --with-new-pkgs enabled by default.

apt vs apt get

They are very similar command line tools available in Trusty (14.04) and later. 
apt-get and apt-cache's most commonly used commands are available in apt.

apt-get may be considered as lower-level and "back-end", and support other APT-based tools. 
apt is designed for end-users (human) and its output may be changed between versions.
