@HalilDeniz , thank you - have you considered creating a pull request (PR) instead of spending time on writing a lengthy description for this tool? For "tool requests," a concise description along with a link to the relevant URL is typically sufficient. Just a friendly suggestion.

That's copy pasta from upstream README but yeah @HalilDeniz you can take a look at https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/PKGBUILD and https://github.com/BlackArch/blackarch-pkgbuilds and come with a Merge Request if you wouldl like.
