Wanted to do sth like this all the time, but the help basically told me to copypaste multiple arguments etc.

Will come back to bite me but nice to have the option I guess

Question: How can I install packages without having to confirm? · Issue #1033 · Jguer/yay:

echo y | LANG=C yay --noprovides --answerdiff None --answerclean None --mflags "--noconfirm" $PKGNAME

(--noconfirm is not documented in help and man, and of course can create problems¹)

BUT ALSO

yes is a command that exists.

Then: yes | yay ... or yes | LANG=C yay

And generally really neat to have a command for answering “yes” to prompts.

And then quick unsafe bad dangerous command to update everything that includes 241001-1512 Yay better compression algos:

echo y | LANG=C PKGEXT='.pkg.tar'  yay  --answerdiff None --answerclean None --mflags "--noconfirm"
