Build packages from the AUR and manage local repositories. Note: A local repository needs to be defined in /etc/pacman.conf and vifm needs to be installed for this to fully function. More information: https://github.com/aurutils/aurutils.

• Initialize the repository that matches the path in /etc/pacman.conf:

repo-add {{path/to/database.db.tar.gz}}

• Search the AUR database for a package:

aur search {{keyword}}

• Download one or more packages and their dependencies from the AUR, build them, and add them to a local repository:

aur sync {{package1 package2 ...}}

• List packages available in your local repository:

aur repo {{[-l|--list]}}

• Upgrade local repository packages:

aur sync {{[-u|--upgrades]}}

• Clean build files after install:

aur sync {{[-C|--clean]}} {{package}}

• Install a package without viewing changes in Vim and do not confirm dependency installation:

aur sync --noview {{[-n|--noconfirm]}} {{package}}

• Remove a package form the repository metadata (does not remove the package file itself):

repo-remove {{path/to/database.db.tar.gz}} {{package}}
