Pkgbuild upstream updater

Question

Hi, here is my first try coding script
code contribution are welcome.
Description:
Script to retrieve the latest upstream PKGBUILD file and if new changes it will build/install/(or upload to AUR) the package or whatever.
Todo:
Parse the PKGBUILD to retrieve extra files like $pkgnam.install, patch, ect
Allow manually adding PKGBUILD address upstream.
Allow to automatically update a bunch of PKGBUILD with a loop.
Write the source address PKGBUILD upstream in a separate file into the same folder or in a global file.
#!/bin/bash
#update-pkgbuild.sh
# Todo:
# Parse the PKGBUILD to retrieve extra files like $pkgnam.install, patch, ect
# Allow manually adding PKGBUILD address upstream.
# Allow to automatically update a bunch of PKGBUILD with a loop.
# Write the source address PKGBUILD upstream in a separate file into the same folder or in a global file.
set -x
old_md5="$(md5sum 'PKGBUILD' 2>/dev/null | cut -d ' ' -f 1 )"
# del old source packages
if [[ -d "src" ]]; then
rm -r "src"
fi
if [[ -d "pkg" ]]; then
rm -r "pkg"
fi
# check if tmp folder exist. If so then delete
if [[ -d "tmp" ]]; then
# Control will enter here if DIRECTORY exists.
rm -r "tmp"
fi
mkdir "tmp"
cd tmp || { echo 'failed to cd'; exit 1; }
curl -O https://raw.githubusercontent.com/felixonmars/aur-mirror/master/pamac-aur/PKGBUILD || { echo 'failed to curl'; exit 1; }
new_md5="$(md5sum 'PKGBUILD' | cut -d ' ' -f 1 )"
# check if file exist
if [ -f ../PKGBUILD ]; then
echo 'check if md5sum are equal'
# check if md5sum are equal
if [[ $old_md5 == $new_md5 ]]; then
# nothing to do
echo 'No update available'
else
# backup the old file
cp ../PKGBUILD ../PKGBUILD-"$(date +'%Y%m%d-%H%M%S')"
# replace old
mv PKGBUILD ../PKGBUILD
# Todo
# read the pkgbuild to list available extra files like patchs and then curl that needed files
# back to previous dir
cd -
# Build & Install the package
# makepkg -i -s -f --noconfirm
# Build only
echo 'makepkg -s -f --noconfirm'
fi
else
# move
mv PKGBUILD ../PKGBUILD
# Todo
# read the pkgbuild to list available extra files like patchs and then curl that needed files
# back to previous dir
cd -
# Build & Install the package
# makepkg -i -s -f --noconfirm
# Build only
echo 'makepkg -s -f --noconfirm'
fi

You should look in /etc/makepkg.conf (and ~/.makepkg.conf) and take into account $BUILDDIR instead of assuming src/ and pkg/.
For example, my $BUILDDIR in ~/.makepkg.conf points to a path in /mnt that is a RAID-10 array of SSD's.
Great suggestion, I will look at it. Thanks
