Pacman

Provides aliases and functions for the Pacman package manager and frontends.

Settings

It is possible to use a Pacman frontend with the pacman aliases provided by this package as long as that frontend supports the same command line options (Such as Pacaur or Yaourt).

To enable a Pacman frontend, for example, Pacaur, add the following line to zpreztorc:

zstyle ':prezto:module:pacman' frontend 'pacaur'

If you have enabled color globally in zpreztorc, you may disable it for certain commands.

To disable yaourt highlighting, add the following line to zpreztorc:

zstyle ':prezto:module:pacman:yaourt' color 'no'
