This script and pacman hook saves all installed native and AUR packages installed in your machine to 2 github gists and updates this information automatically.
This small project was heavily inspired in pug which pretty much accomplishes the same objectives with some small differences (this project doesn't use backup files and has some extra functions):

• List packages currently saved in the gists (just pacman natives, just AUR or both) (-s/-u flag);
• Using -Ss allows you to search for a given string on your gists (might). This is useful because the packages you have uploaded on your gists might be different from the ones you have on your computer currently (if syncing different machines);
• Automatically install/uninstall packages to sync your machine with the information in the gists (-f flag): currently only supports pacman native packages;
• No need to provide your github credentials as you have the option to provide an access token with gist permissions instead;
• You can check the help text with the: -h, -H, -help or --help flags.

1. Install the gist package (if you haven't already)
