I recently got into Arch Linux via EndeavourOS. I’m trying to find a way to remember all the Pacman and Yay commands, but I’m not able to find a good approach to remembering most of the commands.

Does anybody have any mnemonics to help with this? For example, how did you remember that Yay -Yc was the command to remove all unneeded dependencies?

    I don’t use yay so can’t help you there. For me the most useful pacman commands just got memorized after doing an install. I don’t think you need to memorize that much.

    But to your question, instead of mnemonics you could use aliases instead for bash or zsh. that way you can use your own made up commands (or even mnemonics)
