5 ## SYNOPSIS
7 __aurutils__ is a collection of scripts to automate usage of the [Arch
8 User Repository](https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Arch_User_Repository), 
9 with different tasks such as package searching, update checks, or computing 
10 dependencies kept separate.
12 The chosen approach for managing packages is local pacman
13 repositories, rather than foreign (installed by `pacman -U`)
14 packages.
