$ pbget --help

usage: pbget [-h] [--arch <architecture>] [--aur] [--aur-only] [--clear]
             [--config <path>] [--debug] [--dir <path>]
             [--maintainer <maintainer>] [--no-pull] [--trunk]

             [<pkgname> ...]

Retrieve PKGBUILDs and local source files from ABS and the AUR for makepkg.

positional arguments:
  <pkgname>             The source packages to retrieve.

options:
  -h, --help            show this help message and exit
  --arch <architecture>
                        Set the desired package architecture.
  --aur                 Search the AUR. (requires python3-aur)
  --aur-only            Only search the AUR. (requires python3-aur)
  --clear               Clear the ABS Git cache.
  --config <path>       Pacman configuration file. Default: /etc/pacman.conf
  --debug               Display debugging messages.
  --dir <path>          Set the output directory. Default: .
  --maintainer <maintainer>
                        Retrieve all AUR packages from the given maintainer.
                        (implies --aur, requires python3-aur, may be extended
                        to support official packages later)
  --no-pull             Fetch Git sources instead of pulling them.
  --trunk               Retrieve PKGBUILDs from the ABS trunk, which may
                        included PKGBUILDs in testing or staging.
  --resolve-pkgbases    Attempt to resolve package bases. This requires
                        additional remote queries to the archlinux.org server
                        and should only be used when necessary.
  --testing             Search the testing branches of the ABS tree.
  --ttl TTL             The cache time-to-live, in minutes. Default: 5
  --upgradable          Search for all upgradable packages. (requires pyalpm
                        and python3-aur)
