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 · 4 June 2022 14:17

Or for the shorties like me and Dragonfire

upd

Grimy1928 · 4 June 2022 16:31

And me haha

Sandesh55 · 4 June 2022 17:08

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

BluishHumility · 4 June 2022 17:25

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 · 4 June 2022 17:27

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

FGD · 4 June 2022 17:28

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

Sandesh55 · 4 June 2022 17:31

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 · 4 June 2022 20:18

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 · 4 June 2022 20:33

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 · 5 June 2022 01:12

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 · 5 June 2022 03:24

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 · 5 June 2022 12:35

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 · 5 June 2022 13:05

@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 · 5 June 2022 13:16

ohh got it sorry
