SYNOPSIS
aur sync [options] package...
DESCRIPTION
aur sync is the primary command in aurutils for downloading, building, and adding AUR packages to a local repository. It resolves AUR dependencies, fetches PKGBUILDs, builds packages in a clean chroot, and updates the local repository database.
By default, it opens PKGBUILDs in vifm for review before building. This behavior can be disabled with --noview for automated workflows.
PARAMETERS
-u, --upgrades
Check for and build upgrades to installed AUR packages-C, --clean
Remove build files after successful package creation-n, --noconfirm
Do not prompt for dependency installation confirmation--noview
Skip PKGBUILD review in vifm--ignore packages
Comma-separated list of packages to skip during upgrades-c, --chroot
Build packages in a clean chroot (default)--no-ver
Disable version checking
CAVEATS
Requires a properly configured local repository and devtools for chroot builds. PKGBUILD review is important for security; use --noview cautiously. AUR packages are user-submitted and not officially vetted.
