You do not need to specify sudo or run as root. The command runs a script that will automatically prompt you for elevation. All you need to do is:

garuda-update

FGD · June 4, 2022, 2:17pm

Or for the shorties like me and Dragonfire

upd

Grimy1928 · June 4, 2022, 4:31pm

And me haha

Sandesh55 · June 4, 2022, 5:08pm

ls there any more shortcut command ? at past 1 month i was using command line sudo pacman -Syu to update every day .

BluishHumility · June 4, 2022, 5:25pm

garuda-update is recommended instead of this because it will keep your system in better shape. It does more than just take a simple update. Have a peek for yourself:

sudo micro /usr/bin/garuda-update

The command update is equivalent, as it is actually just a symlink to garuda-update:

lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root         22 May 17 13:04 update -> /usr/bin/garuda-update

upd is a bash alias that calls usr/bin/update.

alias upd='/usr/bin/update'

Switch to bash and type alias to list out the aliases currently set up on your device. It is also simple to set up your own if you like! alias(1p) — Arch manual pages

Sandesh55 · June 4, 2022, 5:27pm

ohh u means garuda-update is better then sudo pacman -Syu command line .

FGD · June 4, 2022, 5:28pm

Absolutely! For Garuda installs, garuda-update is THE one to use. Or simply upd.

Sandesh55 · June 4, 2022, 5:31pm

ohh got it getting new knowledge about Linux command feel good . thx i will switch to bash to learn more command line like that

Grimy1928 · June 4, 2022, 8:18pm

No need to switch to bash for the alias command btw. I run it almost daily through fish to make sure my rsync alias doesn't change as it's messed up before lol

BluishHumility · June 4, 2022, 8:33pm

Grimy you're right about that, I had confused myself while poking around on KDE lite.

KDE lite starts off with ~/.config/fish/config.fish as basically an empty file (fish did not even recognize "alias" as a command), but the aliases are set up in bash.

I poked around a little bit and discovered /etc/skel/.config/fish/config.fish contains the proper Garuda setup (probably pulled down through an update), so restoring fish in Garuda Assistant gave me a "normal" Garuda fish setup with working aliases.

Grimy1928 · June 5, 2022, 1:12am

Oh so Fish itself doesn't support the command by default but basically links to bash to output it in fish? Either that or I didn't read what you said properly as I'm tired.

BluishHumility · June 5, 2022, 3:24am

I’m still scratching my head on how fish went from not recognizing alias as a command at all, to working normally after restoring the skeleton. I get that the aliases themselves were missing, but not recognizing the command seems odd–why not just return an empty output? I’ve looked through the files in the skeleton trying to figure out what does this, but so far I’m kind of stumped.

I don’t think they are links. fish has it’s own set of aliases set up in ~.config/fish/config.fish, and there are way more than the aliases set up in bash–on this system, I’d say at least twice as many. If you run alias with no arguments from a fish shell it will print out the list, although they don’t print right (missing the colors typical to fish, and also with an excessive number of backslashes that are not present in the config.fish file).

Sandesh55 · June 5, 2022, 12:35pm

hey i just move to bash for alias to make own custom command line . But problem is i am not getting that auto name on bash i means like this

when i move to bash it does not active like that feature . Is there any solution to do that on bash .it will be great help.

BluishHumility · June 5, 2022, 1:05pm

@Sandesh55 I tried to explain, that comment was just a misunderstanding. You do not need to switch to bash, you can use and create aliases from fish. If you would like to continue to enjoy the autocomplete features of fish, that is what you should do.

Sandesh55 · June 5, 2022, 1:16pm

ohh got it sorry
