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

       -m, --massive-debug Print a lot of debug information to the command line

       -r, --remove Remove the specified repository

       -y, --yes Assume yes to all queries

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

       -s, --enable-source Allow downloading of the source packages from the repository


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

       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.

       In the third form, the given distribution component will be enabled for all sources.
