add-apt-repository(1)					      General Commands Manual					     add-apt-repository(1)

NAME

       add-apt-repository - Adds a repository into the /etc/apt/sources.list or /etc/apt/sources.list.d or removes an existing one

SYNOPSIS

       add-apt-repository [OPTIONS] REPOSITORY

DESCRIPTION

       add-apt-repository  is a script which adds an external APT repository to either /etc/apt/sources.list or a file in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/
       or removes an already existing repository.

       The options supported by add-apt-repository are:

       -h, --help Show help message and exit

       -r, --remove Remove the specified repository

       -y, --yes Assume yes to all queries

       -k, --keyserver Use a custom keyserver URL instead of the default

REPOSITORY STRING

       REPOSITORY can be either a line that can be added directly to sources.list(5), or in the form  ppa:<user>/<ppa-name>  for  adding  Personal
       Package Archives.

       In the first form, REPOSITORY will just be appended to /etc/apt/sources.list.

       In  the	second	form,  ppa:<user>/<ppa-name>  will  be	expanded  to  the  full  deb  line  of	the  PPA  and added into a new file in the
       /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ directory.  The GPG public key of the newly added PPA will also be downloaded and added to apt's keyring.
