A simple bash wrapper for pacman and the AUR.
Specs
Pros
Pro Can also be used to install pacman packages
It's handy to be able to use one command to install any package, whether or not it's in AUR.
Pro Simple, pacman-like interface.
Packer options are almost identical to those used by pacman.
Pro Additional user input requests can be suppressed.
Sometimes a user does not want to confirm everything she does, the --noconfirm and --noedit flags reduce the number of time the install/update is stopped for user input.

Cons
Con The packer project is not actively maintained
Number of Issues and Pull Requests on GitHub has been growing without any action for almost a year. (See apacman - a fork with improvements).
Con Doesn't support shell tab completion
