manjaro-update

This Bash script was made to update and maintain a Manjaro system with Pacman and the alternative package managers - Pamac, Snap and Flatpak in a automatic manner, with as little as necessary user intervention required. It makes use of the functionality of PacUI for the system maintenance. https://github.com/excalibur1234/pacui

This script will also install Meld to your system in case it's not installed, for the simple reason because it will run a sudo pacdiff command and use Meld for the diff if no Environment Variable was set by the user, otherwise user settings will be used.

In case you don't want it to check for Meld, comment the function at the end of the script.

#_meld;
