tlmgr-repository: Remove a specific repository.
$ sudo tlmgr repository remove ${select}
try on your machine

This command is used to remove a TeX Live package repository from the TeX Live Manager (tlmgr) configuration.

Here's a breakdown of the command:

  • sudo: It is a command in Unix-like operating systems that allows a user with administrative privileges to execute a command as a superuser or root.
  • tlmgr: It stands for TeX Live Manager, which is a command-line utility for managing TeX Live installation on a Unix-like system.
  • repository remove: It is an action performed by tlmgr to remove a package repository from its configuration.
  • ${select}: It is a placeholder variable that represents the name or identifier of the repository to be removed. The actual name of the repository should be provided in place of ${select}.

By executing this command with the appropriate repository identifier, the specified TeX Live package repository will be removed from tlmgr's configuration, and its packages will no longer be available for installation or updates through tlmgr.
