This PKGBUILD is wrongly named.

Please make sure to read and understand the Archlinux wiki and the guidelines for AUR/PKGBUILDS.

This PKGBUILD is named "see". It is wrong. It should be named "xxx-bin". Because it doesnt build anything. It only downloads a precompiled tar.gz binary from github. If it was building with rust on the users' computer from a released source code tar.gz on github, then it would be named simply "xxx". If you later also provide a git version it will be "xxx-git".

Very strong advice. "See" is a very simple word, that sooner or later will clash with other things on the user system. It also make searching for it on the AUR confusing and difficult. Horrible choice for a PKGBUILD name.

Also it is a rust tool. It is common to append/prepend "rust" or "rs" in the AUR.

Some suggestions:

For the installed binary on the user:

see-cat-rs

For the name of the PKGBUILD's

see-cat-rs-bin (this one PKGBUILD)
see-cat-rs (later when you make those)
see-cat-rs-git (later when you make those)

This is not enough,

Dont save key presses and words. What does it do ? Put the word "rust" there.

Clean up this mess:

5  pkgname=see-cat-bin
6  pkgver=0.8.1
7  pkgrel=1
8  pkgdesc="A cute cat(1)"
9  url="https://github.com/guilhermeprokisch/see"
12 provides=("see-cat")
13 conflicts=("see-cat")

    It's was not a right deploy. I will try to fix later

Ask for help in the right Archlinux forum, specially if you are new to PKGBUILD's and want your rust tool on the AUR.

Good luck and wish you sucess on further polishing and developing your tool.

PS: Personal opinion, "see" as the name for the github repo is also a poor choice.
