Arch Browse

Simple bash script using fzf and yay to browse available packages from all sources (with bat for syntax highlighting).

Packages are presented in priority order of official before AUR.

Requirements

fzf and bat

sudo pacman -Syu --needed git base-devel fzf bat

yay

git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/yay.git
cd yay
makepkg -si
cd .. && rm -rf yay

Making it executable

First make the script executable:

sudo chmod +x arch-browse.sh

then copy it into local/bin/:

sudo cp arch-browse.sh /usr/local/bin/arch-browse

Shoutout

Inspired by the installer as seen in Omarchy (github).
