Updating Linux OS is essential. Specially for latest and cooler applications to run. But, if we do not add proper repositories, we can not get proper upgrades. Kali Linux is a Debian based Linux distribution that is widely popular among security researchers and penetration testers. Kali Linux uses Advanced Packaging Tool (APT) which is a powerful command-line tool for installing, updating, removing packages. There are some repositories for Kali Linux which can be updated through APT.
# Adding Repositories
Open this file location using vim editor
sudo vi /etc/apt/sources.list
Press i to go to insert mode. Then add this line to the bottom of the file.
deb https://http.kali.org/kali kali-rolling main non-free contrib
deb https://http.kali.org/kali kali-last-snapshot main non-free contrib
deb https://http.kali.org/kali kali-experimental main non-free contrib
Press Esc key and then type :wq and hit "enter" t o save and quit
:wq
# Update Kali Linux with APT
Now update Kali Linux Repositories and also update all existing packages
sudo apt update -y && sudo apt full-upgrade -y
This may take time depending on your current version of Kali Linux. Also remove previous packages when you are done with upgrading
sudo apt autoremove
