# pman.sh
A `pacman` helper script, because you forget the stupid flags
## Usage / Features:
- search
- update
- upgradable
- upgrade
- install
- provides
- config
`config` is the only flag that is not appended to `pacman`, instead it resolves to `nano /etc/pacman.conf`.
`sudo` gets prepended automatically if the command requires it and if installed - no, there is no check if your user is in the `sudo` group, if you download this script you should already be, or know you can only use part of this utility
