Do you mean configuration of sources.list as that is not that hard:

Syntax:
deb <url-to-repo-with-binaries> <distro> <component>

<distro> -> noble, focal etc
<component> -> main, non-free etc. (can be multiple)

So for PPA (Ubuntu 24.04) is was:
deb https://ppa.launchpadcontent.net/gambas-team/gambas3/ubuntu noble main 

OBS does strange stuff with how it writes deb lines:
deb https://download.opensuse.org/repositories:/home:/gambas3:/stable/xUbuntu_24.10/ /

I would expect 'noble main' instead of the '/' OSB does at the end, but it seems to work 

Note that both PPA and OSB do not change /etc/apt/sources.list, but add their own <some-name>.list file to /etc/apt/sources.list.d folder
