By automatically running `apt-get update` for the newly added repository only, it streamlines the process and saves both time and resources, making it a faster and more convenient alternative to traditional methods, such as `add-apt-repository`.\n\n\u003e **Note:** In Ubuntu LTS 18.04 and later, `add-apt-repository` runs `apt-get update` for all repositories. `add-apt-ppa` enhances this process by only updating the newly added repository.\n\n## Installation\n\n### Method 1: Download the released tarball\n\n1. Download the released tarball from the [releases page](https://github.com/PeterDaveHello/add-apt-ppa/releases).\n2. Extract the files.\n3. Navigate to the directory.\n4. Run `make install` as root.\n\n### Method 2: Clone the repository\n\n1. Clone the repository using `git clone https://github.com/PeterDaveHello/ColorEchoForShell.git` to get the files.\n2. Navigate to the directory.\n3. Run `make install` as root.\n\n## Usage\n\nThe usage is the same as `add-apt-repository`/`apt-add-repository` (in the package: [software-properties-common](http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=software-properties-common)).\n\n## The Difference\n\nWhen you use this script to add a new PPA repository, it will **automatically** run `apt-get update` **only** for that specific PPA repository, instead of updating all the repositories. Consequently, you not only eliminate the need to manually run `apt-get update` after adding a PPA repository, but the update process itself becomes quicker as it focuses exclusively on the newly added PPA repository. This approach saves both time and resources.\n\n## Demo\n\n[![demo.gif](demo.gif)](https://asciinema.org/a/21342)\n\n## Author\n\n[Peter Dave Hello](https://www.peterdavehello.org/), [@Twitter](https://twitter.com/PeterDaveHello), [@GitHub](https://github.com/PeterDaveHello)\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fpeterdavehello%2Fadd-apt-ppa","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fpeterdavehello%2Fadd-apt-ppa","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fpeterdavehello%2Fadd-apt-ppa/lists"}
