# aget
`git clone` a package from AUR (the unofficial Arch Linux package repository that contains user-submitted packages), without having to remember the URL.
## Installation
One way is to install it from AUR, another way is:
```sh
sudo pacman -S base-devel git go --noconfirm --needed
go get -u github.com/xyproto/aget
sudo install -Dm755 ~/go/bin/aget /usr/bin/aget
```
An alternative to `go get` + `install` is to use `go install`:
```sh
go install github.com/xyproto/aget@latest
```
## Example use
### Download and install a package from AUR
First make sure that `base` and `base-devel` are installed.
Then download the `ld-lsb` package from AUR:
aget ld-lsb
Build and install it with `makepkg`:
makepkg -i
### Create a new AUR package
aget newpackage
Your ssh key must be set up at the [AUR web page](https://aur.archlinux.org) first for this to work.
