Pacman Aliases

Pacman Aliases is a comprehensive collection of Bash aliases and automatic installation scripts tailored to streamline package management on Arch Linux systems using pacman. These aliases provide intuitive shortcuts for common package operations, enhancing efficiency and ease of use in your daily system administration tasks.

Features

Aliases for Pacman Commands: Simplified and memorable commands that mirror original pacman operations:

• install (i, add): Install a package (pacman -S).
• update (upgrade): Upgrades all packages (pacman -Syu).,
• search: Search for a package (pacman -Ss).
• info: Display detailed information about a package (pacman -Si).
• autoremove: Remove orphaned dependencies (pacman -Qdtq | pacman -Rs -).
• remove (uninstall, delete): Remove a package (pacman -R).
• purge (fullremove, fulluninstall): Remove a package along with its configuration files (pacman -Rns).
• clean (autoclean): Clean package cache (pacman -Sc).
• mirrors (mirrorlist): List and manage mirrors (pacman-mirrors -g).
• listpackages (lsp): List installed packages (pacman -Q).
• list (ls, listrepos, lsr): List packages along with their repositories (pacman -Sl).
• config (editrepos): Display or edit Pacman configuration file (nano /etc/pacman.conf).
• addmirror: Add a specified mirror to the mirrorlist file.
• version (v): Display Pacman version information (pacman --version).
• help (-h, h): Display Pacman help page (pacman --help).
• aliases (alias, aliaseshelp): Display Pacman Aliases help page.

Of course! You can still use pacman commands like pacman -S.
