Description of the feature request:

Many other projects only require running one command to add a ppa, for example for diff-so-fancy:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:aos1/diff-so-fancy

It would be a better user experience if we could do the same to install Bazel on Ubuntu

Which category does this issue belong to?

No response

Installation on Ubuntu is cumbersome and requires running non-standard commands.

If bazel info release returns development version or (@non-git), tell us how you built Bazel.

If we consider doing something like this we might consider doing it for Bazelisk instead of Bazel itself.

I think it would be better to have packages for both Bazelisk and for Bazel.
