Tired of switching between pacman and AUR manually? I was too — so I built a small CLI tool to simplify it. If you use Arch Linux regularly, you probably switch between pacman and AUR workflows quite often. I found that a bit repetitive — especially when installing packages that may or may not exist in the official repositories. So I built a small CLI tool called atha. What is atha? atha is a lightweight package manager wrapper for Arch Linux that simplifies package installation by automatically choosing the right source. Uses pacman for official repositories Falls back to AUR automatically if the package is not found Keeps everything minimal and transparent Features Clean command set: atha install <pkg> atha remove <pkg> atha search <pkg> atha update atha list [installed|all] atha info <pkg> atha doctor Automatic source detection (official repo vs AUR) Consistent CLI output Simple system health check (atha doctor) Basic logging to /tmp/atha.log Example Usage at
