Requires an x86-64-v3 capable CPU for published binaries and enabling write permissions for GitHub Actions.

in plain english

This project is a template for running your own personal Arch Linux package repository entirely through GitHub Actions and GitHub Releases, without paying for a server. It automatically tracks package updates from the Arch User Repository, builds them inside a container, and publishes the resulting binary packages to a fixed GitHub Release that your own computer's package manager can pull from. If you just want to install packages someone has already built with this system, you add a few lines to your pacman configuration file pointing at the GitHub Release download URL, then refresh and install packages normally. The published binaries are built for the x86-64-v3 instruction set, so the project notes that your CPU needs to support that level or higher for the packages to run correctly. To run your own copy, you fork the repository, remove any packages you do not need, and list the ones you want built in a single file called packages.txt, one package name per line. Packages prefixed with local mean you maintain that package's build files yourself inside the repository rather than pulling them from the Arch User Repository. You also need to enable read and write permissions for GitHub Actions in your repository settings so the automation can create pull requests and publish releases. Three automated workflows do the actual work. One runs on a schedule to check packages.txt for updates, pull the latest build files from the Arch User Repository, and open a pull request with the changes. Another test builds any changed packages whenever code is pushed or a pull request is opened. A third workflow publishes finished packages to the GitHub Release on a schedule, on every push to the main branch, or manually, reusing already built packages where it can to save time. The README notes clearly that packages from this kind of setup are not signed with GPG by default, so it should only be used for repositories you fully control and trust. Documentation is provided in both English and Vietnamese.
