**Yup** helps you install packages with ease on Arch Linux

## Features

- Searching with `yup [search-terms]` returns most accurate results
  ![](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ericm/yup/master/assets/scr1.png)

- Uses _ncurses_ to display search results. This allows for mouse interaction in the terminal and easier navigation.

- Don't want to use ncurses? Use `yup -n` to use non-ncurses mode

- Want to search the AUR exclusively? Use `yup -a`

- Like _yay_, type `yup` to run a system upgrade.

- An easy to use config file located at `~/.config/yup/config.json` in JSON format.

* Want to see which packages are cluttering up your system? Run `yup -Qos` to get a list ordered package size.

## Configuration

- Config file found at `~/.config/yup/config.json`.
- The config file has the following options:
  ```
    {
		SortMode:         "closest"|"none", # changes how results are sorted (more to come)
		Ncurses:          bool, # Whether to default to ncurses or not (override by -n)
		Update:           bool, # Whether to update the pacman repos before every sync command
		PrintPkg:         bool, # Whether to print the PKGBUILD before install (for AUR)
		AskPkg:           bool, # Whether to ask to edit PKGBUILD before install (only if PrintPkg is true)
		AskRedo:          bool, # Whether to ask if you want to reselect packages before install
		SilentUpdate:     bool, # Whether you want to be asked to edit PKGBUILD during system update (overrides PrintPkg)
		PacmanLimit:      int,  # The number of packages parsed from pacman to be sorted and searched
		AurLimit:         int,  # The number of packages parsed from the AUR to be sorted and searched
		VimKeybindings:   bool, # Enabling Vim keybindings (j and k keys to go up and down)
	}
    ```

## Usage

```
    yup                 Updates AUR and pacman packages (Like -Syu)
    yup <package(s)>    Searches for that packages and provides an install dialogue
Operations:
    yup {-h --help}
    yup {-V --version}
    yup {-D --database} <options> <package(s)>
    yup {-F --files}    <options> <package(s)>
    yup {-Q --query}    <options> <package(s)>
    yup {-R --remove}   <options> <package(s)>
    yup {-S --sync}     <options> <package(s)>
    yup {-T --deptest}  <options> <package(s)>
    yup {-U --upgrade}  <options> <file(s)>
Custom operations:
    yup -c              Cleans cache and unused dependencies
    yup -C              Cleans AUR cache only
    yup -a [package(s)] Operates on the AUR exclusively
    yup -n [package(s)] Runs in non-ncurses mode
    yup -Y <Yupfile>    Install packages from a Yupfile
    yup -Qos            Orders installed packages by install size
```

## Differences between yay or trizen

- Yup gives you the **most accurate results** first. As seen in the example above, yup sorts the results to bring the most accurate to the start.

- `Yupfiles` are small files that allow you to batch install packages with a single command. [Here's an example Yupfile](test.Yupfile)

- Yup uses _ncurses_. This allows users to both scroll while not displacing the bottom bar and easily navigate to certain results using more natural forms of user input.

- Yup has an easy config file seperate to that of pacman's. This allows it to be more customisable from the get go.

- Yup has both `yup -c` (for clearing all package cache) and yup `yup -C` (for clearing yup's cache only).

- Yup allows you to disable ncurses mode (to normal terminal output) using `yup -n` temporarily or permanently by changing a value in the config file.

- In the search menu, yup allows you to remove an installed package instantly using the `R` hotkey.

- After selecting packages to install, you can revise your decision if you made a mistake.

- Yup will _soon_ allow you to disable any of the dialogue during install using the config menu.

## Installing

### From the AUR

1. `git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/yup.git`
2. `cd yup`
3. `makepkg -si`

### From the AUR (binary)

1. `git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/yup-bin.git`
2. `cd yup-bin`
3. `makepkg -si`

### From source

Make sure you have `go>=1.12`, `ncurses` and `make`.

1. Clone the repo
2. Run `make`
3. Install with `make install`

### Completions not working on zsh

- You'll need to add `compaudit && compinit` to the bottom of your .zshrc
