RepoLib
=======

RepoLib is a Python library and CLI tool-set for managing your software 
system software repositories. It's currently set up to handle APT repositories
on Debian-based linux distributions. 

RepoLib is intended to operate on DEB822-format sources. It aims to provide
feature parity with software-properties for most commonly used functions.

Documentation
=============

Documentation is available online at `Read The Docs <https://repolib.rtfd.io/>`_.


Basic CLI Usage
---------------

RepoLib includes a CLI program for managing software repositories, 
:code:`apt-manage`
.

Usage is divided into subcommands for most tasks. Currently implemented commands
are:

    apt-manage add # Adds repositories to the system
    apt-manage list # Lists configuration details of repositories

Additional information is available with the built-in help:

    apt-manage --help
    
    
Add
^^^

Apt-manage allows entering a URL for a repository, a complete debian line, or a
Launchpad PPA shortcut (e.g. "ppa:user/repo"). It also adds signing keys for PPA
style repositories automatically. 


List
^^^^

With no options, it outputs a list of the currently configured repositories on 
the system (all those found in 
:code:`/etc/apt/sources.list.d/`
. With a configured repository as an argument, it outputs the configuration
details of the specified repository.

Remove
^^^^^^

Accepts one repository as an argument. Removes the specified repository. 

NOTE: The system repository (/etc/at/sources.list.d/system.sources) cannot be 
removed.

Source
^^^^^^

Allows enabling or disabling source code for the given repository. 

Modify
^^^^^^

Allows changing configuration details of a given repository
