paci is a wrapper around pacman, the Arch Linux package manager. It provides a simplified interface while maintaining pacman's power.
The tool uses a familiar syntax for common operations: install, remove, update, and query. Complex pacman flags are abstracted into simpler commands.
Search functionality finds packages in repositories without requiring explicit flags. Interactive selection may be available depending on configuration.
Integration with AUR helpers may be included, enabling installation of community packages alongside official repositories.
The wrapper aims to reduce the learning curve for pacman while remaining compatible with its behavior.
