bpkg-rep-fetch(1)           General Commands Manual          bpkg-rep-fetch(1)

NAME
       bpkg-rep-fetch - fetch list of available packages

SYNOPSIS
       bpkg rep-fetch|fetch [options] [(rep-name | rep-loc)...]

DESCRIPTION
       The rep-fetch command fetches the list of available packages for the
       specified repositories as well as all their complement and prerequisite
       repositories, recursively. If no repositories were specified, then all
       the repositories previously added (bpkg-rep-add(1)) to the
       configuration are fetched.

       The repository to fetch can be specified either as a repository name or
       as a repository location (URL or a directory path; see bpkg-rep-add(1)
       for details). In the latter case, the repository location is
       added/replaced as if by first executing the rep-add command.

       Note that fetching only a specific repository that happens to be a
       prerequisite or complete of another repository not being fetched may
       result in an inconsistent repository state.

REP-FETCH OPTIONS
       --shallow
              Do not re-fetch complement and prerequisite repositories of the
