Asked by Arun Kumar Subburaj

I am new to ubuntu. I tried to install rabbitvcs using below command

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:rabbitvcs/ppa

It takes much time and returns the output as retrieving gpg key timed out.

The same issue happen an all the ppa links alone. I am currently on Ubuntu 18.04.2 LTS . Please help me in fixing this issue.

The PPA doesn't support Bionic so even if you did add it then you'd get 404 errors as the PPA doesn't support your release.

Simply running:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
sudo apt-get install rabbitvcs-nautilus

I assume you use Nautilus, the default file manager in Ubuntu. If you want the CLI version then run:

sudo apt-get install rabbitvcs-cli
