Create a Repository
Now that your chosen repository provider is connected, it’s time to create a repository where your Blueprint code is going to be stored.
Select your repository provider’s account (or ‘namespace’, if BitBucket)
Use the dropdown list or start typing to filter available repository account/ namespace.
If you have selected GitHub as your GitProvider but don’t see the account for which you’d like to create a repository under on the list, click on “Manage GitHub accounts” or “Add GitHub account” (if no GitHub account(s) connected yet) button presented:
Name your repository
Depending on which Blueprint you chose, Atlas will suggest a repository name for you. The name of your repository should be unique within your chosen repository provider account/namespace. If it’s not, you’ll see an error after clicking the “Create” button on the bottom of the page.
Select the visibility of your repository
If you want to limit your repository’s visibility to only people that can access your chosen repository provider account/namespace, make sure to select the “Private repository” checkbox.
Select a region for your Atlas app
The region you select will be used for all of your app’s environments (production/staging/etc.) and cannot be changed once your Atlas application has been deployed.
