Hi there 😀

This is a small collection of commands to maintain the Garuda operating system.

The idea is create safe abstractions to find, install, update, and remove packages without much mental overhead.

Installation

Copy and paste this into your Terminal application.

sudo pacman -Syu base-devel
curl -s https://codeberg.org/ShalokShalom/add-and-friends/raw/branch/main/config.fish >> $HOME/.config/fish/config.fish && exec fish

add

add firefox

In order to avoid partial updates, updating our system before we install someting is always important.

To simplify that, add does ensure that your system is up to date before it installs any software.

You can also use add to update your system, and not installing anything new:

add

It works with all the default repo types of Garuda: All the normal repos, AUR and Chaotic.

And since it always accepts the safe default answer to any interaction that pacman can come up with, do you get a very streamlined experience.

Gone are the times where you would issue a command to go drink some tea, just to come back to the terminal to see, that the command has not even started to run, because the system waits for you to confirm some superfluous question. 🙄

The system will only install software once it has ensured, that itself is fully up to date.

search

search firefox

By default will this show you all the packages, that contain the search term in either the name or the description.

If it finds none of that, will the command show you all the file names that match.

This is particulary useful for people who create new packages.

The search results will be sorted in a sensible manner, and exact name hits will be prominently shown as well.

It also looks up if a package is already installed, and displays then some additional details about it.

remove

remove firefox

Does remove files safely.

Makes reasonable defaults about the handling of dependencies.

commit

commit "This is the commit message"

This is a neat bonus for people who interact with git. It will commit all the changes that you did to a cloned repo in one sweep.

Inspect the source code for details ;)
