# yay
Yet another Yogurt - An AUR Helper written in Go
**Packages**
[![yay](https://img.shields.io/aur/version/yay.svg?label=yay)](https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/yay/) - Compile from source
[![yay-bin](https://img.shields.io/aur/version/yay-bin.svg?label=yay-bin)](https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/yay-bin/) - Binary version
There's a point in everyone's life when you feel the need to write an AUR helper because there are only about 20 of them.
So say hi to 20+1.
Yay was created with a few objectives in mind and based on the design of yaourt and apacman:
- Have almost no dependencies.
- Provide an interface for pacman.
- Have yaourt like search.
- Know when git packages are due for an upgrade (missing this one for now).
