Creating a repository

Create a new repository to hold your code, its history, and everything that lives alongside it. The create form asks for a name, an optional description, a visibility level, and the name of the default branch, then takes you straight to the new repository once it is created.

Where to find it

  • URL: gitvetrix.com/new
  • Navigation: Open Repositories from the main menu, then select New at the top of the page. If you have no repositories yet, select New repository in the Your Repositories block.

Create a repository

  1. Open the create form. Your username is shown as the owner of the new repository.
  2. In Repository name, type a name. Names may use letters, digits, hyphens, underscores, and dots, and can be up to 100 characters long.
  3. Optionally, add a short Description to explain what the repository is for.
  4. Choose a Visibility level (see below). Public is selected by default.
  5. In Default branch, set the name of the branch created with the repository. This defaults to main.
  6. Select Create repository. You are taken to the new repository's home page.

To leave without creating anything, select Cancel.

Choose a visibility level

The Visibility options control who can see the repository. Each option describes what it means as you select it:

  • Public — anyone on the internet can view the repository, including signed-out visitors. You choose who can commit.
  • Internal — any signed-in user on the instance can view the repository. Signed-out visitors cannot see it.
  • Private — only you and collaborators you explicitly add can view the repository. Signed-out visitors cannot see it.

Troubleshooting

  • Repository name is required. If you leave it empty or use a character that is not allowed, the field shows the rule it expects, and the repository is not created until you fix it.
  • Default branch is required and cannot be empty.
  • If creating the repository fails, an error message appears above the buttons. Correct the problem and select Create repository again.
  • Repository home — the landing page you reach after creating a repository, with its file list, README, and clone details.
