And don't wear it out.
(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); A repository is a URL that users enter into Cydia so that they can find packages hosted on that repository.

(For example, BigBoss' Repository is "https://apt.bigboss.us.com/repofiles/cydia/")

You can easily make your own repository to host your themes, apps, etc.

[NOTE]: Repo's contain .deb files, which is the file type Cydia unpacks and installs. These are not easy to make, you should already have one on hand as I'm not covering how to make them in this Tut.

***

There are two types of Repositories:
1) "https://YourRepoName.com/" (This is hosted by you, and a little difficult to set up)
2) "https://OtherCompanyName.com/YourRepoName/" (This is hosted by "OtherCompanyName", which is often somebody like "myrepospace" or "xsellize", and is a lot easier to set up)

In this tutorial, I'm going to help you set up a Repo hosted by another company. If you want to make your own Repo and host it yourself, check out Saurik's post here:
You must login or register to view this content.
(The only advantage to a self-hosted repo is that it looks a bit more official).

***

1) Go here:
You must login or register to view this content.
and make an account. (You'll need to confirm your e-mail when you're finished.)

2) Once your account is confirmed, login if you aren't already, then go to the "My Account" area and click "Add Package".
Or Better yet, make sure you're logged in and click this link:
You must login or register to view this content.

3) Browse for a .deb file you have saved on your computer, and choose whether it falls under Applications, Games, Themes or Hacks.
(If you're asking what a .deb file is, read the note at the top of this post.)

4) Hit Next, and then enter in some more info about your package.

You're done! If you can't find your new Repo URL on the site, it's going to be:
    https://cydia.myrepospace.com/[username]/
And yes, you should remove the brackets around "username" in the actual URL.


Happy Modding =D
