You need to manually edit /etc/slackpkg/slackpkgplus.conf. Fortunately this file has its own man page as well as being very well annotated internally. Typical slackware!

wow, I did not know that slackpkg+ is on youtube

However, edit /etc/slackpkg/slackpkgplus.conf
The file is big and man page is big too, but to start you need only to reach the statement MIRRORPLUS['...']=....

You can see a list of known repositories in /usr/doc/slackpkg+-1.8.0/repositories.lst

Uncommenting the row already present in default configuration is a good start

You can see a larger list of repositories in https://slakfinder.org/showrepo.php

If you have some problem or you want to report bug or ask for improvement, the best place is the apposite thread
https://www.linuxquestions.org/quest...-a-4175669481/

you may need to run 'slackpkg update gpg' everytime you add/modify a repository

You've hit the bigtime zerouno! I've caught a couple of this youtuber's videos, and it's great to see young people embracing Slackware.
