aura: Search for packages from the official repositories and AUR.
$ aura --aursync --both --search ${select}
try on your machine

The command "aura --aursync --both --search ${select}" is a command that is being run using the program or tool called "aura." The purpose of this command is to perform a search for a specific package or package name (${select}) in the Aura package manager.

Here is what each part of the command means:

  • "aura" is the name of the program or tool being used to manage packages. It is likely a package manager specific to a particular operating system or distribution.
  • "--aursync" is a flag or option for the command. This flag instructs aura to synchronize its package database with the Arch User Repository (AUR) packages. The AUR is a community-driven repository for Arch Linux packages.
  • "--both" is another flag or option that tells aura to search for packages in both the official repositories and the AUR.
  • "--search" is an option used to specify that a search operation is being performed.
  • "${select}" is a variable or placeholder that represents the package or package name you want to search for. The value of this variable is likely provided by the user when executing the command.

When this command is executed, the aura package manager will search for the specified package or package name in both the official repositories and the AUR, and display the search results to the user.
