I want to list all Head packages available from specific ppa.
Example: webupd8 ppa:nilarimogard/webupd8
has following head packages for trusty:
Can I list them by command-line?

I've written a function that grabs the Packages list for the repo that would be used on the current release/architecture. It's fairly simple and could be written as a single line... It would just be a very unwieldy line.
function lsppa {
# expects one argument in the form of ppa:nilarimogard/webupd8
USAGE="lsppa <ppa:user/ppaname>"
if [[ "$#" != "1" || ! "$1" == *"ppa"* ]]; then
echo "$USAGE"
return
fi
REPO="${1/ppa:/}"
CODE="$(lsb_release -cs)"
ARCH="$(dpkg --print-architecture)"
URL="http://ppa.launchpad.net/$REPO/ubuntu/dists/$CODE/main/binary-$ARCH/Packages"
awk '/^Package:/ {print $2}' <(wget -qO- "$URL")
}
So after you paste that into a terminal, you can call it like lsppa ppa:nilarimogard/webupd8
and it returns a list as ordered by the packages list.
In this case it might be non-alphabetical and could even contain duplicates (different versions) so you might (you could pass it through sort -u
if you want to call:
lsppa ppa:nilarimogard/webupd8 | sort -u | less
