The ability to override repo parameters (all except baseurl) is now available through the CLI.

Here is the usage syntax via the CLI:

[root@jsefler-5 ~]# subscription-manager repo-override --help
Usage: subscription-manager repo-override [OPTIONS]

Manage custom content repository settings

options:
  -h, --help            show this help message and exit
  --proxy=PROXY_URL     proxy URL in the form of proxy_hostname:proxy_port
  --proxyuser=PROXY_USER
                        user for HTTP proxy with basic authentication
  --proxypassword=PROXY_PASSWORD
                        password for HTTP proxy with basic authentication
  --repo=REPOID         repository to modify (can be specified more than once)
  --remove=NAME         name of the override to remove (can be specified more
                        than once); used with --repo option.
  --add=NAME:VALUE      name and value of the option to override separated by
                        a colon (can be specified more than once); used with
                        --repo option.
  --remove-all          remove all overrides; can be specific to a repository
                        by providing --repo
  --list                list all overrides; can be specific to a repository by
                        providing --repo

Here is an example creation of a repo override:
