What is the similar command of Ubuntu's sudo apt-get update in Fedora?

Question

sudo apt-get update install all update easily in Ubuntu. Is sudo dnf update similar to this in Fedora 25?

@Shadur no. [Fedora is using DNF for years](https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/DNF) — Jakuje, May 29 '17 at 11:08
@Shadur `dnf` has replaced `yum` on the latest fedora versions — GAD3R, May 29 '17 at 12:52
In current Fedora (F29+), `dnf` and `yum` are synonymous. Use what you like. — mattdm, Sep 29 '18 at 21:20

As apt-get update (or apt update), a dnf check-update updates the local repository cache.

The (general) dnf update equivalent in Debian/Ubuntu is a combination of apt update, apt upgrade and apt autoremove.

dnf or yum is automatically updating the package lists when used ... for e.g. # dnf install package

About dnf update : Will update packages to the latest available version. Like apt-get upgrade will do.

From fedoraproject.org/wiki/:

Ubuntu command --- Fedora command

apt-get update --- dnf check-update You don't need to do this as dnf updates its cache automatically before performing transactions

apt-get upgrade --- dnf upgrade

apt-get install --- dnf install

apt-get remove --- dnf remove

apt-get purge --- N/A

apt-cache search --- dnf search
