## SYNOPSIS

__aurutils__ is a collection of scripts to automate usage of the [Arch

User Repository](https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Arch_User_Repository), 

with different tasks such as package searching, update checks, or computing 

dependencies kept separate.

The chosen approach for managing packages is local pacman

repositories, rather than foreign (installed by `pacman -U`)

packages.

  

## INSTALLATION

Install one of the following packages:

* [`aurutils`](https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/aurutils) for the

release version _(recommended)_.

* [`aurutils-git`](https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/aurutils-git)

for the master branch.

Upgrade notices are posted to the 

[Arch forums](https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=210621).

## USAGE

Documentation is included as [man pages](https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Man_page)

with groff typesetting. They provide a general overview of the various utilities

with several examples.

Detailed instructions on how to set up a local repository can be found in the

section `CREATING A LOCAL REPOSITORY` of the [`aur(1)`](man1/aur.1) man page.
