aurman: Remove a package and its dependencies.
$ aurman --remove --recursive --nosave ${package_name}
try on your machine

This is a command utilizing the "aurman" package manager in Linux to remove a specific software package and all its dependencies. Let's break down the various components:

  • "aurman" is the command-line tool that you are using as a package manager. It is specifically designed for managing packages from the Arch User Repository (AUR).
  • "--remove" is an option to indicate that you want to remove a package. It instructs aurman to uninstall the specified package.
  • "--recursive" is another option that tells aurman to remove all the dependencies of the specified package as well. Dependencies are other software packages that the specified software relies on to function properly. So, with this option, all the dependencies of the package are removed along with the package itself.
  • "--nosave" is an option to prevent the removal action from being saved in the package manager's configuration file. This flag is used to avoid adding the removal to the list of previously installed packages, so that uninstalling the software won't undo any future system upgrades or installations.
  • "${package_name}" is a placeholder for the actual name of the package you want to remove. Replace it with the name of the package you wish to uninstall.

In summary, this command is used to remove a specific package and its dependencies using the aurman package manager, without saving the removal action in the package manager's configuration file.
