Oh is it asking you to confirm adding the ppa and hitting enter is like yes? If so try adding a -y
http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/wily/man1/add-apt-repository.1.htmlYou could add -r to remove them and try again.

When I run the command without the \r they will all run without error after I press the enter. however, because the ppa is already installed it says that nothing has changed.On Sun, Mar 27, 2016 at 12:09 AM, Brien Dieterle <briend@gmail.com> wrote:The "do" will execute the command without a /r, but it didn't break the command either. It looks like one of your ppa does not support the version of your Ubuntu. I bet the rest of them added OK though. You should see them when you run

There. A command that will take a list of repos. And if you did that a lot, make it an alias or a function:
function addrepos() { for rep in $* ; do add-apt-repository $rep ; done ; }
Put in bashrc or whatever and there you go, a single command.

does 'add-apt-repository <whatever>' work like 'apt-get install <whatever>' where you can just list the repositories after one ' add-apt-repository?
