README
PACSTALL
The AUR Ubuntu never had
Pacstall is the AUR Ubuntu wishes it had. It takes the concept of the AUR and puts a spin on it, making it easier to install programs without scouring github repos and the likes.
The list of available packages can be found here.
---
### Features
* Supports binary, git, appimage, building and `.deb` packages
* Accelerated package download using [axel](https://github.com/axel-download-accelerator/axel) (optional)
* During upgrades, you always get the latest build off of the latest commit from the developer for `-git` packages. No need to wait for the pacscript maintainer to update the script!
* Ability to install programs from multiple repositories
* Ability to track Pacstall updates from any fork/branch easily
* Completions available for `bash` (`ZSH`), and `fish`
---

```

### Basic Commands
Install `foo` (Equivalent of `apt install`):
```bash
pacstall -I foo
```
Remove `foo` (Equivalent of `apt remove`):
```bash
pacstall -R foo
```
Search for `foo` (Equivalent of `apt search`):

```bash

### Auto completions
Pacstall has fully supported auto completions for the `bash`, and `fish` shells. For the `ZSH` shell you can emulate the completions using the following commands.
#### Zsh auto completion
Zsh can emulate bash completion scripts by default so all you have to do is add these to your `.zshrc` or wherever you source things:
```bash
autoload bashcompinit
bashcompinit
source /usr/share/bash-completion/completions/pacstall
```
