I recently got into Arch Linux via EndeavourOS. I’m trying to find a way to remember all the Pacman and Yay commands, but I’m not able to find a good approach to remembering most of the commands.

Does anybody have any mnemonics to help with this? For example, how did you remember that Yay -Yc was the command to remove all unneeded dependencies?

    -Syu

    you can just type yay and it defaults to -Syu if there’s no other argument

     

    also while I never use pacman on its own (I always use yay) I still check the pacman man page every now and then because while all the commands from pacman can still be used the yay manual only shows the commands added besides pacman’s default commands
