A PKGBUILD management framework for the Arch User Repository using git subtree workflows.
aurpublish is a PKGBUILD management framework for the Arch User Repository (AUR). It provides a structured workflow for Arch Linux package maintainers to publish, update, and manage AUR packages using git subtree operations, automating tasks like checksum validation and .SRCINFO generation.
Arch Linux users and maintainers who publish or manage multiple packages on the AUR and want a streamlined, git-integrated workflow.
It simplifies AUR package maintenance by automating repetitive tasks, ensuring clean version history with git subtrees, and reducing manual errors through built-in hooks and validation.

Pre-commit hooks automatically warn about whitespace errors and validate checksums, reducing manual errors as stated in the README's Key Features.
Uses git subtree push to maintain independent history for AUR packages, enabling better collaboration and pull requests, per the How it works section.
Auto-generates .SRCINFO files for changed PKGBUILDs and pre-fills commit messages with package versions, streamlining updates as described in the Hooks and Commands.
Includes an experimental script to import history from non-migrated AUR3 packages, aiding in transition to newer AUR versions, though it's labeled as experimental.
The AUR3 migration script is explicitly called experimental in the README, indicating potential instability or lack of robust support for legacy packages.
Requires compilation, installation with make, and repository initialization via 'aurpublish setup', adding complexity and assuming proficiency with git and command-line tools.
Specifically tied to the AUR and Arch Linux ecosystem, with no support for other package repositories or distributions, as evident from its PKGBUILD focus.
