I recently got into Arch Linux via EndeavourOS. I’m trying to find a way to remember all the Pacman and Yay commands, but I’m not able to find a good approach to remembering most of the commands.
Does anybody have any mnemonics to help with this? For example, how did you remember that Yay -Yc
was the command to remove all unneeded dependencies?
I read the man page and used
--help
more than I could remember, now the stuff I use stuck with me. Base pacman commands are actually named and shortened pretty intuitively. I only use AUR helpers for exactly that, so I pretty much don’t use all the extra functionality.
