    My guess is it’s called sync because it’s the “do stuff directly relating to remote repository” sub-command, including remote repo search (–sync --search) and syncing package database/updating packages (–sync --refresh --sysupgrade). Notably, installing or updating a local package file you do with --upgrade.

    A lot of package managers just have separate commands instead. It’s just a matter of organization.
