Description

Helps search, build, and install AUR packages through a Ruby-based helper workflow. It is useful for Arch-based users who understand AUR trust decisions and want a smaller helper.

AUR helpers can build and install third-party package scripts with user privileges and sometimes root privileges. Read PKGBUILDs before installing, especially from unfamiliar maintainers.
