PKG-REPOSITORIES(8)

📦 version 2.7.5, in nixos 26.05, nixpkgs unstable

💅 pkg-repositories(8) — the system manager's manual, but make it cute

okay so bestie, you know how pkg(8) is the package manager? This is the manual page for its pkg repositories command, and honestly it's giving "small command, big main character energy" 💖

✨ NAME ✨

pkg repositories — display configured package repositories

🫶 SYNOPSIS 🫶

pkg repositories [-d] [-e] [-l] [repositories]

pkg repositories [--disabled] [--enabled] [--list] [repositories]

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

pkg repositories displays the configured software repositories for the package manager, pkg(8). That's it, that's the vibe ✨

If you give it the name of an existing repository as an argument, it prints only that repository's configuration. No argument at all? Then all the repositories get printed. Literally all of them. 🌈

💅 OPTIONS 💅

These are the options pkg repositories is serving up:

  • -d, --disabled — print disabled repositories only 🙈
  • -e, --enabled — print enabled repositories only ✅
  • -l, --list — print the list of repository names 📝

🎀 FILES 🎀

  • /etc/pkg/FreeBSD.conf — default system repository
  • /usr/local/etc/pkg/pkg.conf — pkg(8) configuration, including system repository
  • /usr/local/etc/pkg/pkg.conf.sample — example pkg(8) monolithic configuration, including default repository
  • /usr/local/etc/pkg/repos/ — location for site specific repositories

🦋 EXAMPLES 🦋

Display all repositories:

pkg repositories -l

Display all repositories configurations:
