This article provides a technical guide for Arch Linux users on building a command-line tool with Bash, Awk, and the fzf fuzzy finder. The script replicates the functionality of the official Arch and AUR package websites, allowing for real-time searching of package names and descriptions, as well as installing and removing packages from both main and AUR repositories using Paru.
