Is Confirmation just a repeat of Baptism?
No. Some church denominations (eg Baptists) only baptise as adults when the promises made at baptism can be understood. However, some denominations (like Roman Catholics, Methodists and Anglicans) practice infant baptism as well as adult baptism. Therefore, when an infant is baptised, he or she cannot really understand the significance of the promises made to follow Christ and reject evil. Therefore godparents - responsible adults who are not the child's biological parents - agree to make these promises on the child's behalf and also agree to ensure that the child grows up knowing and understanding the Christian faith. There will come a time when the child grows up and may wish to affirm (or confirm) these promises making them for himself rather than someone else do it for him. This is known as confirmation. Therefore at confimation the candidate makes the promises for himself - which is the big difference between baptism and confirmation.
Why do you think people being confirmed repeat the promises made for them at Baptism?
Baptism begins a process of entering the Church by grace. Confirmation perfects the same process by adding the Holy Spirit. The promises are repeated because they are the same.

What do the baptismal promises have to do with Confirmation?
At Baptism, the child's parents & godparents make the vows. At Confirmation, the young person makes the vows for him/herself..Catholic ChurchIn the Catholic Church, Confirmation is the second of the three sacraments of initiation: Baptism, Confirmation, and the Holy Eucharist, all of which are given at the same time, shortly after birth, except in the Latin Rite, in which they are separated. Thus the baptismal promises are an integral part of all three sacraments, but the sacrament of confirmation is just the strengthening of the Holy Spirit to live out those promises. In all but the Latin Rite, the confirmand is a newborn and much too young to "renew" the vows for himself. So the Baptismal promises are integral to all three, but the specific action of Confirmation is the strengthening by the Holy Spirit to live out those promises.
