Yet Another Arch Yrapper
This script provides convenient wrapper functions for the yay package manager on Arch-based systems. The ‘yaay’ function offers shortcuts for updating the system, searching for packages, and listing various package information. It also includes Flatpak updates and firmware updates. The ‘yeet’ function simplifies package removal, including an option to remove orphaned packages. These wrappers streamline common package management tasks, making system maintenance more efficient for users.
