Generate mirrorlist with the fastest mirrors

--status

Display the status of current mirrors

-g, --geoip

Use geolocation to select mirrors from your country

CAVEATS

After running pacman-mirrors, always synchronize and upgrade with sudo pacman -Syyu. Switching branches may introduce instability. The unstable branch tracks Arch Linux more closely.

HISTORY

pacman-mirrors is specific to Manjaro Linux, providing mirror management features not found in upstream Arch Linux.
