yay is an AUR helper for Arch Linux written in Go that wraps pacman to manage both official repository and AUR packages from a single pacman-compatible CLI. It provides advanced dependency solving, PKGBUILD downloading, makepkg-based building, AUR search with completions, and package voting.
Use cases
- install AUR packages from the command line
- upgrade all packages including AUR in one command
- search and narrow AUR package results
- download PKGBUILDs for local modification and building
- remove make dependencies after builds
- vote for or unvote AUR packages
When to choose
- you use Arch Linux or an Arch-based distro and want a single CLI for repo and AUR packages
- you want advanced AUR dependency solving and interactive provider selection
- you are migrating from yaourt or pacaur and want a maintained replacement
When to avoid
- you are not on Arch Linux or a pacman-based distribution
- you prefer a minimal setup and want to use makepkg and pacman directly
- you need a GUI package manager
