💖 bpkg-rep-add — add repository to configuration 💖

okay so bestie, this is the bpkg-rep-add manual page — it lives in the General Commands Manual section of the bpkg docs, and it's literally just about yeeting a new repo into your config. no cap, it's short and sweet and you're gonna slay it. ✨

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

bpkg rep-add|add [options] rep-loc...

two names, one command, main character energy honestly 💅

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

The rep-add command adds the specified package repositories to the configuration. The repository location rep-loc is a URL or a directory path. If a repository with the same canonical name already exists in the configuration, then its location is replaced with the specified one. (not me showing up and just overwriting the old location, sorry not sorry 😭)

Heads up bestie: this command doesn't fetch the list of available packages for the newly added repository. For that, use the bpkg-rep-fetch(1) command — normally, after adding all the repositories you wish to use. it's giving "add first, fetch later" 🫶

Currently three types of repositories are supported: archive-based pkg, directory-based dir, and version control-based git. See bpkg-repository-types(1) for details on their structure and URL format. go read it, iykyk 📚

Normally the repository type can be automatically guessed by examining its URL (for example, the presence of the .git extension) or, in case of a local repository, its content (for example, the presence of the .git/ subdirectory). Without any identifying information the pkg type is assumed unless explicitly specified with the --type option or in the URL scheme. Note, however, that the dir repository type is never guessed since it is not easily distinguishable from local pkg and git repositories. the vibe check just can't tell them apart, okay?? 🙈
