aurman: Install a new package without show changes of `PKGBUILD` files.
$ aurman --sync --noedit ${package_name}
try on your machine

The command aurman --sync --noedit ${package_name} is used to synchronize and install a package from the Arch User Repository (AUR) using the aurman package manager.

Let's break down the command:

  • aurman: This is the name or alias of the package manager used to interact with AUR. It is specifically designed for Arch-based distributions and provides an easy way to install packages from AUR.

  • --sync: This option tells aurman to synchronize the package databases and update the local package repository before installing the specified package. It ensures that the latest version of the package is fetched from the AUR.

  • --noedit: This option specifies that aurman should not open an editor to let the user customize the package build files before installation. This is useful when you trust the default build configuration for the package and don't need to make any changes.

  • ${package_name}: This is a placeholder for the name of the package you want to install. Replace ${package_name} with the actual name of the package you want to synchronize and install from AUR.

By running this command, aurman will update the local package repository, fetch the latest version of the specified package from AUR, and install it without opening an editor for further editing.
