 ## Cleaning Config Files
 
 Arch does not overwrite your changes to configuration files.

+# AUR helpers (yay, paru,..)
+
+Installing helper can be done by cloning and building that package from AUR repository, to avoid doing that manually and to automate updating, we use helpers.
+
+Building Yay:
+```sh
+sudo pacman -S --needed git base-devel
+git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/yay.git
+cd yay
+makepkg -si
+```
+
+Flags are mostly the same as in pacman
+But running yay without flags will do the update like `yay -Syu` and with package name it will search packages in aur and pacman repos, and let you choose which to install
+
+```sh
+yay <search_term>
+``` 
+
+
+Building the package can usually take some time, and after the build it will ask for sudo password, if afk installation will fail, to avoid this you can use the flag `--sudoloop` and enter the sudo password initially and it will loop it untill finishing the installation, to avoid answering all of the installation question `--noconfirm` can be used 
+```sh 
+yay -S --noconfirm --sudoloop <package_name>
+```
+
+
+
+## Pacman and yay text coloring
+
+Getting the colors is done by editing the `/etc/pacman.conf` and uncommenting the line `Color`
+By adding the line `ILoveCandy` you will unlock soem terminal animations, like one pacman eating the dots while installing some package
