How update all packages in Oracle Linux 7.5?

Question

How could be possible to update all yum repositories in /etc/yum.repos.d/ directory? Is this command is right for this purpose?

yum update repolist or yum repolist all

what do you mean with "update all yum repositories"? What's the thing you want to achieve? — Marcus Müller, Commented Mar 8, 2022 at 17:14
Ditto above; also, what does Oracle Linux (tag) have to do with this? — Jeff Schaller, Commented Mar 8, 2022 at 17:34
@MarcusMüller, How can I update all packages in centos? yum update is enough? what does yum repolist all do then? I don't know in Linux, we can update packages or repositories? or both?! — zahra_oveyedzade, Commented Mar 9, 2022 at 5:10
@JeffSchaller, Actually the linux distribution that is installed is Oracle linux 7.5. that's why I mentioned it in tags. — zahra_oveyedzade, Commented Mar 9, 2022 at 5:11

yum update updates all packages.

yum repolist (as yum help tells you), will

display the configured software repositories
