In a butshell a repository is a website where the different apps and tweaks are
stored.
When you add a repository to cydia you are giving it permission to
access those apps and download them.
There are somewhere around 5 that are pre installed when you jailbreak
and these are the only ones that have truely been vouched for and tested for
security.
It is possible to add a repository with harmful content in it so make
sure you are comfortable with anything you add.
i hope this helps make sense of it.
have a good day!
