## A command failed in packit-service: how do I reproduce it locally?

Please read [this document on how to reproduce locally](reproduce-locally).

## Why you should use Packit instead of external devices directly?

- Packit uses various services Testing Farm, Copr, Koji, Bodhi…
- These services can be used without Packit, but Packit integrates them in a
more user-friendly way reducing the manual labor that would be required from
the contributor or maintainer. For example:
- the build in Copr is created automatically when a new version is released
- RPMs built by Copr are specifically passed to the Testing Farm for testing
- RPM builds are verified against multiple releases (and also different OSs)
- The user does not have to wait and look for the results but just interprets them.
