aura: Synchronize and update all packages from the official repositories.
$ aura --sync --refresh --sysupgrade
try on your machine

The command you mentioned is "aura --sync --refresh --sysupgrade". Here's a breakdown of what each flag means:

  1. "aura": It is the name of a package manager utility for Arch Linux-based distributions. It helps manage packages installed on your system.

  2. "--sync": This flag tells aura to synchronize the package repositories. It downloads a copy of the package databases from the remote servers, ensuring that your system has the latest information about available packages.

  3. "--refresh": This flag instructs aura to refresh all package databases. It checks if there are any newer versions of the packages available in the repositories.

  4. "--sysupgrade": This flag initiates a system upgrade. It upgrades all the packages installed on your system to their latest versions, ensuring that your system is up to date.

In summary, when you run the command "aura --sync --refresh --sysupgrade", it updates the package database, checks for newer versions of packages, and performs a system-wide upgrade, updating all installed packages to their latest versions.
