packer is a bash wrapper for pacman and the AUR. It was designed to be a simple and very fast replacement for the basic functionality of yaourt.
packer has commands to install, update, search, and show information for any package in the main repositories and in the AUR. For other commands, such as removing packages, use pacman.
