dnf-repo
A wrapper of the dnf package manager for fine control of enabled/disabled yum repos (eg coprs).
DNF is not terribly fast at handling repos partly because it likes
to refresh the cached repodata frequently. So it can be advantageous
to disable smaller repos by default and only enable them as needed.
This tool can temporarily enable/disable repos selected by substring.
Repo states can also be saved or their cache individually expired.
There are options to enable/disable testing/modular repos,
and also to create a repo file for a Copr or Koji repo.

Update with testing repos:
$ dnf-repo -t update
List disabled copr repos (actually shows "copr" repos that would be enabled):
$ dnf-repo -e copr
Disable all copr repos for update:
$ dnf-repo -d copr update
Disable modular repos permanently:
$ dnf-repo --disable-modular --save
(or equivalently dnf-repo -M -s
).
Switch a system from Rawhide to F37:
$ dnf-repo --exact -d rawhide -e fedora distrosync --releasever 37 fedora\*
Note that sudo is used implicitly when needed:
there is no need to run dnf-repo with sudo.
