How to write Bashrc with and without sudo for different use cases?
I'm searching through a ton of packages between a vm and host to see which package is causing text input issues for steam. I frequently need to check for and install packages on the guest machine and it would be helpful to have one for alias pacman='sudo pacman -Syu', while also needing one for alias pacman='pacman -Qi'also.
I've tried:
alias pacman_qi='pacman -Qi'
unalias pacman
alias pacman='sudo pacman -Syu'
to no avail. How may I write an rc file, which allows for both pacman and pacman_qi variations?
bash zsh alias bashrc
