YUM-CONFIG-MANAGER(1)

🌸 NAME 🌸

okay bestie, meet yum-config-manager — it's redirecting to the DNF config-manager Plugin, no cap 💅. It's the whole vibe for managing main and repository DNF configuration options, toggling which repositories are enabled or disabled, and adding new repositories. iconic. ✨

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

dnf config-manager [options] <section>...

that's the whole mood: options, then one or more <section> things. periodt. 🎀

---

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

• <section> — use this when you wanna explicitly pick the configuration sections to manage. A section can either be main or a repoid. If not specified, the program will select the main section and each repoid used within any --setopt options. A repoid can be specified using globs. iykyk 🌈

💖 OPTIONS 💖

All general DNF options are accepted, see Options in dnf(8) for details. like, the whole DNF menu is open to you, bestie 🫶

• --help-cmd — Show this help. the classic “help me help you” moment 😭
• --add-repo=URL — Add (and enable) the repo from the specified file or url. If it has to be added into installroot, combine it with --setopt=reposdir=/<installroot>/etc/yum.repos.d command-line option. 🎀
• --dump — Print dump of current configuration values to stdout. very “show me everything” energy ✨
• --set-disabled, --disable — Disable the specified repos (implies --save).
• --set-enabled, --enable — Enable the specified repos (implies --save). slay. 💅
• --save — Save the current options (useful with --setopt).
• --setopt=<option>=<value> — Set a configuration option. To set configuration options for repositories, use repoid.option for the <option>. Globs are supported in repoid.

WARNING: DNF config-manager can misbehave when enabling/disabling repositories generated by tools like subscription-manager on RHEL. In this case you should use subscription-manager to perform such actions. like bestie, pls be careful here 😭
