Hone is an "AUR Helper" written in C++
As other helpers implement more features to be different than the others, hone only implement specific features you need, such as:
- Installing package
- Searching package
- Updating package
and not with other helpers such as Yay, that allows you to install from Arch's main repository. Hone only install, and search from the AUR.
This allows hone to be as lightweight as possible.
