aurders source_dir --templates

2. Enter the values for required fields as prompted.

What aurders does?

aurders handles most of the things one has to do to make their package ready-to-upload on Arch User Repository.

• Generates tarball from source directory.
• Generates PKGBUILD from template.
• Generates .SRCINFO from template.
• Clones repository from aur​@aur.archlinux.org of pkgname.
• Adds PKGBUILD, .SRCINFO and source (*.pkg.tar.zst) to git repository.
• Commits the changes in the git repository (if user wants aurders to).

What aurders does not do?

aurders focuses only on preparing package for upload to Arch User Repository.

• Does NOT create Arch User Repository account or handles anything related to that.
• Does NOT interfere with anything inside the .ssh/ directory.
• Does NOT push-es changes from local git repository.

Be mindful of following:

• aurders currently supports only one source.
• Ensure you have AUR account correctly setup.
• You can set external source easily, but you are required to have local copy of that same package.
• The PKGBUILD and .SRCINFO templates does not contain all the fields, it contains only what is required and/or is standard.
