How to list this AUR package in my Octopi / pacman?

Wondering what my Garuda setup is missing, that would be needed for the sdl3 package to be listed in Octopi.

Pace setup, if it matters:

Now there is a package called sdl3-git which is also offered when doing pacman -S sdl3 but that ain’t quite it, right? Because I have many times noticed additional something-git packages in addition to a “more official-looking” (lol) something… but I tend to choose vscodium not vscodium-git, gimp not gimp-git etc, you get the idea. Why? I couldn’t tell ya, having never researched the purpose of those bla-git packages in the first place. =)

If you want a UI for searching and installing you can use pacseek which is a TUI, or you could try Bauh which is a GUI package manager that works with the AUR.

Nothing, sdl3 is in the AUR, use paru to install.

You can also browse the AUR with octopi, just press the green alien button.
