yup -i [package_name...]

Alternative flags

• --install
• i
• install

yup -r [package_name...]

Details about package

List installed packages and show details in sidebar. With Enter details are shown expanded in pager (default: less).

Update

Update has multiple features.

It performs system update by calling yay -Syu. It also looks for file updators.sh in .config. If file is found it executes list of update commands of other application separated by newline. It also provides summary of failed commands.

Idea behind this is that every program which has some kind of update not managed by package manager (rustup, oh-my-fish, pip...) would register here to have all updates managed wrom one place. For now, this has to be done by hand.

yup -u

• --update
• u
• update

Remove orphaned packages

• -o
• --orphaned
• o
• orphaned

Dependencies

• yay
• fzf (can be replaced with skim, it is waster but has worse sorting score on exact match)
• fish (Zsh support has been droped as I do not use it any more.)
