Improved repository creation experience now available in public preview

An improved and more intuitive flow for creating repositories is now available in public preview and you can enable it through feature preview!

The updated design makes it easier to create new repositories with a consistent modern experience.

The most significant change affects organizations and enterprises using custom repository properties and repository policies. Now, custom property inputs can respond to your organization’s policies, letting you set or limit repository names and visibility right at creation. This helps maintain compliance from the start.

Highlights

  • Redesigned form for easier navigation and improved user experience
  • Inputs now respond to organization and enterprise policies for custom properties, making governance-driven rules easier to adopt

You can preview the new experience by enabling it in the feature preview menu.
