Nuscript's for Pacman

Related problem

Hi lovely folks 🌞

So I had the joy to see Nushell in action for the first time recently, and I have to say, I am quite impressed with the neat output.

What I am also impressed by, is the immense complication, it can bring, when I want to launch a command. 😄

See this issue: #10297
As you can see, is it suggested, that we could have a script, that helps with common pacman queries.

Next to the shown ones, I also like to introduce you to the pkgfile command, that helps with packaging.

This could clearly take some order 😃

Describe the solution you'd like

Clear output for pacman out of the box

See the solution in the linked example 👍🏻

Describe alternatives you've considered

Doing it by hand 😉

Additional context and details

Hi 👋🏻. What's the question? I must be missing it. I see custom completions in our nu_scripts repo for pacman and pkgfile.

Maybe you're wanting someone to write you a script?

Hi 👍🏻

I am not really custom yet with the terminology here, it seems. 😅

@amtoine said, there are no nu_scripts for pacman yet, and he assumed, they would be there.
What I inferred from this, is that Nu has special scripts for commands, that are used often, and who format the output without special invention by the user.

I am generally willing to implement them, but I would need to with the command arguments, since they puzzle me over a lot.

This issue is mostly just for the creation of pacman scripts for Nu in general, no matter who ends up implementing it.

@ShalokShalom
maybe this is something more suited for the https://github.com/nushell/nu_scripts?
