Problem

How to use the aur sync command: Download and build AUR packages automatically. Note: A local repository needs to be defined in /etc/pacman.conf and vifm needs to be installed for this to fully function. More information: <https://github.com/aurutils/aurutils>.

Solution

aur sync — Download and build AUR packages automatically. Note: A local repository needs to be defined in /etc/pacman.conf and vifm needs to be installed for this to fully function. More information: <https://github.com/aurutils/aurutils>.

Download one or more packages and their dependencies from the AUR, build them, and add them to a local repository:

aur sync {{package1 package2 ...}}

Upgrade local repository packages:

aur sync {{[-u|--upgrades]}}

Clean build files after install:

aur sync {{[-C|--clean]}} {{package}}

Install a package without viewing changes in Vim and do not confirm dependency installation:

aur sync --noview {{[-n|--noconfirm]}} {{package}}

Ignore specific packages when upgrading:

aur sync {{[-u|--upgrades]}} --ignore {{package1,package2,...}}
