Hide installed apps
Do you have any installed applications that you would rather keep the version so much that you don't even want to list them in -f? Do you want to hide any installed applications from the reach of "AM"/"AppMan"?
This release brings with it two new options:
hide, to prevent your CLI from seeing, listing, updating and managing the selected appsunhide, to reversehide
In this video I will hide two system-wide installed apps and two locally installed apps

This can also help if you have a lot of fixed version apps (in my case baobab-gtk3 and system-monitor-gtk3) and you want to limit updating them, calling github APIs unnecessarily.
There is already a lock option for this, yes, but if you don't need to list them, you can hide them now.
When you use the command
am hide $APP1 $APP2 $APP3
the remove script is renamed to remove.old, thus preventing the installed app from being identified as belonging to "AM"/"AppMan" and effectively making it a "system" or "independent" app.
You can however update it manually by running the related AM-updater script (if it exists) and remove it manually by running the remove.old script.
It has its uses, you may need to hide an application from view sometimes.
