✨ NAME ✨

zypp-refresh — refreshes the metadata of all your enabled repositories 🔄✨

🌈 SYNOPSIS 🌈

zypp-refresh

literally that's it. no flags, no arguments, no nothing. she just goes 💅

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

so here's the tea 🍓: zypp-refresh refreshes the metadata of every enabled repo that has autorefresh turned on (you can peep which ones with zypper lr, iykyk 👀). no cap, that's the whole vibe check.

it's made to be used in stuff like cron jobs or scripts — like, it's the lowkey background bestie that keeps your repo data fresh while nobody's looking 🧚✨

fr fr, she only touches the repos with autorefresh on. the ones with it off? not her business, not her problem 🙈
