I installed RStudio through the AUR using packer. The package name was rstudio-bin and I would like to change the binary executable name to just rstudio. How would I go about changing this?

probably easiest to set up an alias. You could probably just rename it (or symlink) but it would leave dangling entries on a pkg removal

Which package did you use?
You can modify the PKGBUILD to set up a different symlink: https://aur.archlinux.org/cgit/aur.git/ … esktop-bin

The easiest way to do this is to setup a bash alias in your ~/.bashrc file.
It is as simple as placing this anywhere in your bashrc file:
alias name='command/program name'Offline

You can modify the PKGBUILD to set up a different symlink: https://aur.archlinux.org/cgit/aur.git/ … esktop-bin
In this line?
ln -s -f ../lib/rstudio/bin/rstudio rstudio-bin
just change rstudio-bin to rstudio?

If I create an alias will the alias work in my dmenu or other launchbars?

Yes, it's just a symlink, the location and name should be sensible, but the rest is up to you.
I think it's best to have it in your $PATH an not rely on aliases.
