       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

       -u, --update After adding the repository, update the package cache with
       packages from this repository (avoids need to apt-get update)

       -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.
