Some More Pacman Aliases

I have come up with a few more pacman aliases and decided to share them with you all, just in case they may be useful. I have quite a collection of aliases now, and it is constantly growing as I think of new ways to save time in the terminal. Saving time is something I do very well - for example, I fiddled around with xbindkeys so that I can control the volume of the master alsa channel with my mouse.

Anyway, here are the pacman aliases. I don’t think I’ll be able to think of any more, as these fulfil my needs perfectly, and should fulfil yours too if you are an average user. I daresay some pacman power users will find them inadequate, but a true power user should already have his (or her) shortcuts set up already.

alias upgrade='sudo yaourt -Syu --aur --devel'
alias deorphan='sudo pacman -Rs $(pacman -Qtdq)'
alias optimize='sudo pacman -Scc && sudo pacman -Syy && sudo pacman-optimize && sudo sync'
alias maintain='upgrade && deorphan && optimize'
