Introduce `miaur self-update` / `--self-update` that clones RepoUrl@Branch, detects user vs system install prefix, and reinstalls in place. Configurable via conf/env; supports --noconfirm, --repo-url, and --branch. Co-authored-by: Frank Vitrano <WHC2006@users.noreply.github.com>
miaur
A lightweight AUR helper written in pure Bash. No helper compilation required.
Its everyday commands follow paru, including -Syu, -S, -Ss, -Qua, and -G.
Install
git clone https://github.com/WHC2006/miaur.git
cd miaur
./install.sh
One command:
bash <(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/WHC2006/miaur/main/install.sh)
Install for the current user under ~/.local:
./install.sh --user
The installer adds the required packages automatically: base-devel, git, curl, and jq.
Usage
miaur # Upgrade everything (same as -Syu)
miaur foo # Search and select packages interactively
miaur -S <package> # Install a package
miaur -Ss <query> # Search packages
miaur -Qua # List available AUR upgrades
miaur -Sua # Upgrade AUR packages only
miaur -G <package> # Download a PKGBUILD
miaur --noconfirm -Syu # Upgrade without prompts
miaur self-update # Update miaur from Git
Run miaur -h for more options.
Configuration
The optional configuration file is ~/.config/miaur/miaur.conf. See config/miaur.conf.example.
Self-update reads RepoUrl / Branch (or MIAUR_REPO / MIAUR_BRANCH) when set.
