pkgbasify performs the following steps:

1. Select a repository based on the output of [freebsd-version(1)] and create `/usr/local/etc/pkg/repos/FreeBSD-base.conf`.
2. Select package sets that correspond to the currently installed base system components.
1. Select a repository based on the output of [freebsd-version(1)].
2. If the version of FreeBSD is lower than 15, create `FreeBSD-base.conf` at `/usr/local/etc/pkg/repos` (do not alter a `FreeBSD.conf` at this path).
3. If the version of FreeBSD is 15 or higher, use `/usr/local/etc/pkg/repos/FreeBSD.conf` to enable the _FreeBSD-base_ repository.
4. Select package sets that correspond to the currently installed base system components.
- For example: if the lib32 component is not already installed,
pkgbasify will not install `FreeBSD-set-lib32`.
- pkgbasify never installs `FreeBSD-set-src` package even if `/usr/src` is present and non-empty.
This prevents unwanted overwriting of potentially modified source files and/or a VCS repository.
3. Prompt the user to create a "pre-pkgbasify" boot environment using [bectl(8)] if possible.
4. Download selected packages
5. Register selected packages in the pkg database without installing any files (`pkg install --register-only`).
6. Install selected packages, overwriting normal files and merging config files (`pkg install --force`).

- As per normal [pkg(8)] behavior, `.pkgnew` files are created for config files for which merge fails.

8. Run [pwd_mkdb(8)] and [cap_mkdb(1)].
