An intro to pacman commands

This video explains the pacman command line, I think you will find it interesting.

Using Pacman on Arch Linux: Everything you need to know

A few months ago I posted this little list:

Default command line way to install,remove,list packages

Some pacman options worth remembering Options What it does -Syu perform a full update (you should use this when updating). -Syyu force download of package database and then update. This is typically only necessary after changing your mirror list. -Syuu will perform a full update, allowing downgrade of packages (use only when the update announcement tells you to, or when you’re trying to fix some problem and know what you’re doing). There is also -Syyuu -Syuw download the packages…

These are some of pacman options I think are worth remembering. There are many others, of course, but those others are not very likely to be commonly used, in my opinion.
