# Script to easily remove packages without having to spell the whole package-name.
# Create the following alias to make removing packages even easier:
# alias remove="sh /path/to/remove.sh"
# Now you can remove packages by using the following command:
# remove $packagename
#!/bin/bash
# Query installed packages for the search term and create a variable from it
pkgs=( $(pacman -Qq | grep $1) )
# Make it an array
declare -a pkgs
# If array contains only one entry, remove immediately
if [ ${#pkgs[@]} -eq 1 ]; then
# If installed, use yay to uninstall the selected package and all of it's dependecies and configuration files
if type yay >/dev/null 2>&1; then
yay -Rns $pkgs
else
# Else use pacman to uninstall the selected package and all of it's dependecies and configuration files
sudo pacman -Rns $pkgs
fi
else
# Else select the right package from the array
select pkg in ${pkgs[@]}
do
break
done
# If installed, use yay to uninstall the selected package and all of it's dependecies and configuration files
