5 __aurutils__ is a collection of scripts to automate usage of the [Arch
6 User Repository](https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Arch_User_Repository),
7 with different tasks such as package searching, update checks, or computing
8 dependencies kept separate.
10 The chosen approach for managing packages is local pacman
11 repositories, rather than foreign (installed by `pacman -U`)
16 Install one of the following packages:
18 * [`aurutils`](https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/aurutils) for the
19 release version _(recommended)_.
20 * [`aurutils-git`](https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/aurutils-git)
21 for the master branch.
23 Upgrade notices are posted to the
24 [Arch forums](https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=210621).

29 Documentation is included as groff manuals. [`aur(1)`](man1/aur.1) contains a
30 general overview, instructions on creating a local repository, and
35 See [ISSUE_TEMPLATE.md](ISSUE_TEMPLATE.md). For informal discussion, see the
