Add --save option
Before setting options such as --topdown would be saved to the config
file automaticly when used. Now this is no longer done by default and
isntead the --save flag must be passed for this to happen.

If --save is passed the config is now saved as soon as the argument
parsing is finished apposed to before where it was saved when yay exits.
This means that config changes will now apply if the user does a ^C
before yay finishes.

Yet another Yogurt - An AUR Helper written in Go

Packages

yay yay-bin yay-git GitHub license

There's a point in everyone's life when you feel the need to write an AUR helper because there are only about 20 of them. So say hi to 20+1.

Yay was created with a few objectives in mind and based on the design of yaourt and apacman:

  • Have almost no dependencies.
  • Provide an interface for pacman.
  • Have yaourt like search.
  • Minimize user input
  • Know when git packages are due for an upgrade.

Features

  • AUR Tab completion
  • Download PKGBUILD from ABS or AUR
  • Ask all questions first and then start building
  • Search narrowing (yay linux header will first search linux and then narrow on header)
  • No sourcing of PKGBUILD is done
  • The binary has no dependencies that pacman doesn't already have.
  • Sources build dependencies
  • Removes make dependencies at the end of build process

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Yay does not display colored output. How do I fix it?
    Make sure you have the Color option in your /etc/pacman.conf #123

Example of Custom Operations

  • yay <Search Term> presents package selection menu
  • yay -Ps prints system statistics
  • yay -Pu prints update list
  • yay -Yc cleans unneeded dependencies
  • yay -G downloads PKGBUILD from ABS or AUR
  • yay -Y --gendb generates development package DB used for devel updates.
