arch-chroot

Enhanced chroot command to help in the Arch Linux installation process. More information: https://man.archlinux.org/man/arch-chroot.8.

Start an interactive shell (bash, by default) in a new root directory:

arch-chroot {{path/to/new/root}}

Specify the user (other than the current user) to run the shell as:

arch-chroot -u {{user}} {{path/to/new/root}}

Run a custom command (instead of the default bash) in the new root directory:

arch-chroot {{path/to/new/root}} {{command}} {{command_arguments}}

Specify the shell, other than the default bash (in this case, the zsh package should have been installed in the target system):

arch-chroot {{path/to/new/root}} {{zsh}}
