For those who prefer to handle xbps by console instead of using OctoXPBS for everything related to the installation / uninstallation, search, etc, of packages as well as the system update, I have created some aliases to simplify the xbps commands, as well as the following aliases for the ls command, kitty themes, and exa.
They are:
alias install='sudo xbps-install -S'
alias remove='sudo xbps-remove -R'
alias update='sudo xbps-install -S'
alias upgrade='sudo xbps-install -Su'
alias find='xbps-query -Rs'
alias orphan='sudo xbps-remove -ov'
alias clean='sudo xbps-remove -Ov'
alias service='sudo sv status /var/service/*'
alias ls='ls --color=auto --group-directories-first'
alias lsa='ls -lahCB --color=auto --group-directories-first'
alias kt='kitty +kitten themes --reload-in=all'
alias e='exa -lFG --icons --color=always --group-directories-first'
alias ea='exa -laFG --icons --color=always --group-directories-first'
alias et='exa -laFGT --icons --color=always --group-directories-first'
I hope it will be you useful
Cheers
