Tips & Tricks:
Create your own answer bot in the terminal.

Sometimes when you run an update and something fails you don't want to go through the hassle of answering Yes to every single instance over again. In this case you can make your very own Answer Bot using a Pipe.

For example:
yes | apt-get upgrade
yes | pacman -Syu
no | command of your choice

This will keep you from having to manually answer each time by putting yes or no the pipe symbol and your command.
