Moving this to Repositories component since the bug is not actually is a hammer bug, but rather Katello API is missing description parameter for repositories creation via API.

Oleh, the web ui can add and display descriptions for custom repositories, doesn't the web ui use the API as well?
Julio,
I'm not sure how exactly Katello manages their UI, but in nightly API documentation (which is used by hammer) I don't see anything that could be used to add descriptions while creating/updating repositories through API.
Hello
while hammer repository create and hammer repository update now work with --description, there is no help output.
Raised this bug for that:
Bug 1878202 - No help output for hammer repository description
