I already had 1 try with the exam and you have to create a new file in /etc/yum.repos.d/ in order to use the repos and install stuff. This is the most accurate answer

Are we supposed to add the repo along with the other repos already installed or do we remove the other repos and only run this for the default repo?

sudo su yum config-manager --add-repo [URL] yum repolist (To obtain the Repo ID and Repo Name) yum config-manger --enable [Repo ID] vim /etc/yum.conf (edit the yum.conf to enable non-signed repo) gpgcheck=0 (:wq! save this value and quit)

I think when we use --enable we set that repo default.
