yaourt: List installed packages, versions, and repositories (AUR packages will be listed under the repository name 'local').
$ yaourt -Q
try on your machine

The command "yaourt -Q" is used in Arch Linux to list all the packages installed from the AUR (Arch User Repository) using the yaourt package manager.

Here's an explanation of the individual parts of the command:

  • "yaourt": It is a 3rd-party package manager used in Arch Linux to install packages from the AUR repository. It stands for "Yet Another User Repository Tool".

  • "-Q": It is an option/flag used with the "yaourt" command to indicate that we want to query or list the packages installed from the AUR.

So, when you run the command "yaourt -Q", it will give you a list of all the packages installed from the AUR on your Arch Linux system. It can be useful to check which AUR packages are currently installed or to verify if a specific package is installed.
