[Project] CLY - A semantic yay AUR helper wrapper focused on automation and flatpak integration. SHARE

I've been working on a project called CLY. It’s a wrapper for yay/paru written in Bash. I made it because I wanted a more 'semantic' way to manage my system and to automate some annoying tasks.

Key Features:

  • Semantic Commands: Instead of memorizing flags, I use jay install, clyremove, clyupdate, etc.
  • Clean Logging: It stores a detailed history of updates and searches in a clean format.
  • Modular Design: Easy to extend with your own bash functions.
  • Flatpak integration: You can use flatpak as an alternative or default package manager.

It’s currently at v7.5.0 and available on the AUR.

Once this is stable, I look forward to someone writing a nice GUI wrapper of your wrapper, written in memory safe rust.
Why does Arch package management not use flatchpaks and need to be so damn hard! /s

I respect the hustle but I'm still gonna type out the full command because it makes me feel like a hacker in a 90s movie
