How to remove all repositories using zypper

If you need to remove all repositories, use this command:

zypper repos | grep Yes | cut -f3 -d '|' | sed -e "s/ //" | awk '{print "zypper rr " $1}' | bash

I would suggest first to try to see the output of the command without the last bash:

zypper repos | grep Yes | cut -f3 -d '|' | sed -e "s/ //" | awk '{print "zypper rr " $1}'

Export or import list of repositories in Linux for yast2

If you need to migrate your linux yast2 repositories from one machine to another, you can do the following:

Export list of yast2 repositories into a text file:

zypper lr –export

By default it saves the list of repositories in xport.repo file

On machine 2 you may import the list created by the command above, into the system by importing the list of repositories:

zypper ar -r xport.repo

"ar" stands for "Add Repository", whereas "lr" stands for "list repositories"
