When I put in the terminal as rootthe command, this apt-get updateappeared in an output line:

Des:5 http://ppa.launchpad.net/webupd8team/java/ubuntu disco InRelease [15,4 kB]

Searching with my ignorance a little I found this page in English where apparently (with what little I understand) it informs me that when someone installed java on my computer they put this command:

deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/webupd8team/java/ubuntu trusty main

My question is what does this command do?

java

    As you can see in this answer from askubuntu, it debis NOT a command , but it is the way in which a Debian repository is indicated in the file , that is, debian packages.

    As ubuntu uses debian packages by default instead of other types of packages, this may confuse you.
