This brief tutorial explains how to find the list of installed repositories from command line in different Linux operating systems. Finding installed repositories from CLI mode is not only easier, but also faster method compared to GUI mode. There could be many ways to do it, however these are just enough to get the job done. Let us get started.
Find The List Of Installed Repositories In Linux
List installed packages in RPM based systems
In CentOS, RHEL, Scientific Linux:
To view the list of installed repositories in RPM based systems such as CentOS, RHEL, and Scientific Linux, run the following command:
$ sudo yum repolist
Sample output:
Loaded plugins: fastestmirror Loading mirror speeds from cached hostfile * base: mirror.fibergrid.in * epel: ftp.cuhk.edu.hk * extras: mirror.fibergrid.in * updates: mirror.fibergrid.in repo id repo name status !base/7/x86_64 CentOS-7 - Base 9,363 !docker-main-repo Docker main Repository 110 !epel/x86_64 Extra Packages for Enterprise Linux 7 - x86_64 11,722 !extras/7/x86_64 CentOS-7 - Extras 380 !updates/7/x86_64 CentOS-7 - Updates 1,838 repolist: 23,413
Or, use the following command:
$ sudo yum repolist all
Output from CentOS 7 server edition:
Loaded plugins: fastestmirror Loading mirror speeds from cached hostfile * base: mirror.fibergrid.in * epel: ftp.cuhk.edu.hk * extras: mirror.fibergrid.in * updates: mirror.fibergrid.in repo id repo name status C7.0.1406-base/x86_64 CentOS-7.0.1406 - Base disabled C7.0.1406-centosplus/x86_64 CentOS-7.0.1406 - CentOSPlus disabled C7.0.1406-extras/x86_64 CentOS-7.0.1406 - Extras disabled C7.0.1406-fasttrack/x86_64 CentOS-7.0.1406 - CentOSPlus disabled C7.0.1406-updates/x86_64 CentOS-7.0.1406 - Updates disabled C7.1.1503-base/x86_64 CentOS-7.1.1503 - Base disabled C7.1.1503-centosplus/x86_64 CentOS-7.1.1503 - CentOSPlus disabled C7.1.1503-extras/x86_64 CentOS-7.1.1503 - Extras disabled C7.1.1503-fasttrack/x86_64 CentOS-7.1.1503 - CentOSPlus disabled C7.1.1503-updates/x86_64 CentOS-7.1.1503 - Updates disabled C7.2.1511-base/x86_64 CentOS-7.2.1511 - Base disabled C7.2.1511-centosplus/x86_64 CentOS-7.2.1511 - CentOSPlus disabled C7.2.1511-extras/x86_64 CentOS-7.2.1511 - Extras disabled C7.2.1511-fasttrack/x86_64 CentOS-7.2.1511 - CentOSPlus disabled C7.2.1511-updates/x86_64 CentOS-7.2.1511 - Updates disabled !base/7/x86_64 CentOS-7 - Base enabled: 9,363 base-debuginfo/x86_64 CentOS-7 - Debuginfo disabled base-source/7 CentOS-7 - Base Sources disabled c7-media CentOS-7 - Media disabled centosplus/7/x86_64 CentOS-7 - Plus disabled centosplus-source/7 CentOS-7 - Plus Sources disabled cr/7/x86_64 CentOS-7 - cr disabled !docker-main-repo Docker main Repository enabled: 110 !epel/x86_64 Extra Packages for Enterprise Linu enabled: 11,722 epel-debuginfo/x86_64 Extra Packages for Enterprise Linu disabled epel-source/x86_64 Extra Packages for Enterprise Linu disabled epel-testing/x86_64 Extra Packages for Enterprise Linu disabled epel-testing-debuginfo/x86_64 Extra Packages for Enterprise Linu disabled epel-testing-source/x86_64 Extra Packages for Enterprise Linu disabled !extras/7/x86_64 CentOS-7 - Extras enabled: 380 extras-source/7 CentOS-7 - Extras Sources disabled fasttrack/7/x86_64 CentOS-7 - fasttrack disabled !updates/7/x86_64 CentOS-7 - Updates enabled: 1,838 updates-source/7 CentOS-7 - Updates Sources disabled repolist: 23,413
The above command will list all repositories i.e both enabled and disabled repositories.
To list only enabled repos, run the following command:
$ yum repolist enabled
To list only disabled repos, enter:
$ yum repolist disabled
In Fedora:
$ sudo dnf repolist
List installed packages in DEB based systems
Run the following command to view the list of installed packages in DEB based systems like Debian, Ubuntu, Linux Mint etc.
$ sudo apt-cache policy
Sample output would be:

Or, use this command to find the installed repositories in your DEB based system.
$ sudo grep -Erh ^deb /etc/apt/sources.list*
Here is the output from my Ubuntu 16.04 LTS server.

List installed packages in SUSE/openSUSE
To view the list of repositories in SUSE/openSUSE, run:
$ zypper lr
Or,
$ zypper repos
Sample output from my openSUSE desktop:

List installed repositories in all Linux systems using inxi utility
An another easy way to display the list of repositories is using inxi utility. It will work on most Linux operating systems that supports Inxi. It is free, open source, and full featured command line system information tool. It shows various useful system details, including CPU, drivers, Xorg, Desktop, Kernel, GCC version(s), Processes, RAM usage, and more. It currently supports the following package managers.
- APT (Debian, Ubuntu, and derivatives)
- PACMAN (Arch Linux, and derivatives)
- PISI (Pardus, and derivatives)
- PORTAGE (Gentoo, Sabayon, and derivatives)
- PORTS (OpenBSD, FreeBSD, NetBSD, and derivatives)
- SLACKPKG (Slackware, and derivatives)
- URPMQ (Mandriva, Mageia, and derivatives)
- YUM/ZYPP (Fedora, Redhat, Suse, and derivatives)
Refer the following guide to know about inxi tool.
To list the installed repositories using inxi, run:
$ inxi -r
Sample output from my Arch Linux system:
Resuming in non X mode: xdpyinfo not found. For package install advice run: inxi --recommends Repos: Active pacman repo servers in file: /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist http://mirror.hactar.xyz/$repo/os/$arch http://archlinux.mirrors.uk2.net/$repo/os/$arch http://mirrors.dotsrc.org/archlinux/$repo/os/$arch http://ftp.acc.umu.se/mirror/archlinux/$repo/os/$arch http://fooo.biz/archlinux/$repo/os/$arch http://mirror.csclub.uwaterloo.ca/archlinux/$repo/os/$arch http://mirrors.tuna.tsinghua.edu.cn/archlinux/$repo/os/$arch http://ftp.sh.cvut.cz/arch/$repo/os/$arch http://mirror.js-webcoding.de/pub/archlinux/$repo/os/$arch http://mirror.frgl.pw/archlinux/$repo/os/$arch http://mirror.internode.on.net/pub/archlinux/$repo/os/$arch http://ftp.myrveln.se/pub/linux/archlinux/$repo/os/$arch http://mirrors.uni-plovdiv.net/archlinux/$repo/os/$arch http://mirror.archlinux.no/$repo/os/$arch http://ftp.yzu.edu.tw/Linux/archlinux/$repo/os/$arch http://mirror.armbrust.me/archlinux/$repo/os/$arch http://mirror.tyborek.pl/arch/$repo/os/$arch http://mirror.f4st.host/archlinux/$repo/os/$arch http://ftp.nluug.nl/os/Linux/distr/archlinux/$repo/os/$arch http://mirror.neuf.no/archlinux/$repo/os/$arch Active pacman repo servers in file: /etc/pacman.conf http://repo.archlinux.fr/$arch
