My tool for installing packages from the AUR. Rename to "yam" and install in /usr/local/bin if you so desire for easy execution.

yam.fish

#!/usr/bin/fish

# Sources are placed in $HOME/.local/share/yam
#   by default. I'll add better argument parsing
#   and an option to change it later

set install false
set srcdir $HOME/.local/share/yam/

for arg in $argv
    switch "$arg"
        case "-i" "--install"
            set install true
        case "*"
            set tarball_full "$arg"
    end
end

echo $install
echo $tarball_full

if not test -f "$tarball_full"
    echo "File does not exist"
    exit 1
end

if not test -d "$srcdir"
    mkdir "$srcdir"
end

set tarball (basename $tarball_full)
set filename (basename $tarball_full ".tar.gz")
echo $tarball
echo $filename

mv $tarball_full $srcdir
cd $srcdir

tar -xvf $tarball
rm $tarball

cd $filename
makepkg -s

if test $install = true
    sudo pacman -U *.tar.xz
end
