[SOLVED] makepkg.conf deleted. How to generate new one?

I deleted my makepkg.conf while making a script to auto-patch it. How do I go about generating a new one?

# bsdtar -xvf /var/cache/pacman/pkg/pacman-5.1.2-2-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz etc/makepkg.conf

# bsdtar -xvf /var/cache/pacman/pkg/pacman-5.1.2-2-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz etc/makepkg.conf

x etc/makepkg.conf: Can't unlink already-existing object
bsdtar: Error exit delayed from previous errors.

Edit: nvm, makepkg.conf was empty but not deleted. Had to delete it first then run the command in root directory as super. This fixed it.
