# Pacmanity
Keeps a list of installed packages in a Gist at your GitHub account.
## Installation
**1. Download and install:**
- From [AUR](https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/pacmanity/) using an AUR helper:
```bash
$ -S pacmanity
```
Some popular AUR helpers are [`yaourt`](https://github.com/archlinuxfr/yaourt), [`trizen`](https://github.com/trizen/trizen) and [`yay`](https://github.com/Jguer/yay).
- From [AUR](https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/pacmanity/) using `makepkg`:
```bash
$ wget https://github.com/derektbrown/pacmanity/tarball/master -O - | tar xz
$ cd DerekTBrown-pacmanity-*/
$ makepkg -si
```
**2. Setup:**
During the installation of the package you will be prompted to log in to your GitHub account.
## Usage
Once installed, Pacmanity automatically maintains a list of your installed packages in a private Gist at your GitHub account.
The list gets updated every time you install, update or remove packages, keeping track of the current explicitly installed packages from both Arch [official repos](https://www.archlinux.org/packages/) and [AUR](https://aur.archlinux.org/). They are listed in the Gist in that particular order (official, then AUR), separated by a blank line.
No hassle: just install Pacmanity, follow the prompts and you are done.
A pacman hook will be installed and conveniently run when needed to.
## Recovery
By cloning the Gist file to your fresh Arch installation you can easily bulk-install them:
```bash
$ git clone [email protected]:.git
$ cd
```
- Using `pacman` to install only official packages:
```bash
$ sed -e '/^$/q' $(hostname).pacmanity | sudo pacman -S -
```
- Using an AUR helper to install all packages:
```bash
$ -S $(tr '\n' ' ' < $(hostname).pacmanity)
```
- Using an AUR helper to install only AUR packages:
```bash
$ -S $(sed -e '/^$/d' $(hostname).pacmanity | tr '\n' ' ')
```
## Screenshots
Navigate to your [Gist](https://gist.github.com) in GitHub and you will find:
- List of currently installed packages from official repos:
- List of currently installed packages from AUR:
- Every package installation will be automatically added to the Gist:
- Every package removal will also be reported in the Gist:
