Did you look at man yum.conf?  or man yum?  Or the yum wiki?

Yum is very simple to use and, if you want, includes lots of extra
features - even a plugin system.  So, the question becomes why bother
getting apt setup on a CentOS box when yum is already
installed/configured?

"Because I know apt well" isn't much of an answer since yum is easy to
learn very very few people use apt on CentOS - meaning you will have a
hard time getting support.
