In which directory must definition files be placed to add additional repositories to yum?

The /etc/yum.repos.d/ directory contains configuration files for additional yum repositories. Each file in this directory should end with .repo and contain information about one or more repositories. The yum command will read all the files in this directory and use them as sources for software packages. The format of the .repo files is similar to the /etc/yum.conf file, which contains the main configuration options for yum. Each .repo file can have one or more sections, each starting with [repository] where repository is a unique identifier for the repository. The section can have various options, such as name, baseurl, enabled, gpgcheck, etc. For example, a .repo file for the EPEL repository could look like this:

[epel] name=Extra Packages for Enterprise Linux 7 - $basearch baseurl=http://download.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/7/$basearch enabled=1 gpgcheck=1 gpgkey=file:///etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-EPEL-7
