# Paruse

###### . . . An Interactive Package Management Tool for Arch Linux

</div>

## Overview

Paruse uses [paru](https://github.com/Morganamilo/paru) & [fzf](https://github.com/junegunn/fzf) to manage "goto" task centered around packages. It can browse Arch|Aur Repositories in real-time, filtering by package type, and searching through packages <ins>while you type</ins>. Install|Uninstall|Purge operations can be done for single packages or batch (multiple input). Packagelist are synced and can be backed up and restored from packagelist & packagelist-date&time files found in 📂 `~/.config/paruse`. Updating system, cleaning cache, viewing Arch News, are a couple of other things present in the Paruse Menu. Interaction is not limited to keyboard, you can click through menus, and click to make selections. Also only ~20Kib if that matters.

## Installation

After installation, summon paruse by typing `paruse` in a terminal or launch via your favorite app launcher. Git installations can run paruse via `./paruse.sh`, or `cd paruse/pkg && makepkg -si`. Choose one of the options below.

```
paru -S paruse
```
```
git clone https://github.com/soulhotel/paruse.git
```

You can skip the main menu interaction by using flags. Try typing:
```
paruse -news
```
