Description

A command-line helper for reviewing and merging .pacnew configuration files after package updates. It helps users compare old and new system configuration without blindly overwriting local changes.

Use it after updates when pacman leaves configuration files to merge manually. Because these files can control system behavior, read changes carefully before accepting them.

How to run
