Create a repository

When you add a new repository, you can set it up using a template or a backup that you created earlier.

1. Select Repositories in the main navigation bar.
2. In the Repositories page, click Create.
3. Provide a name for the repository.
   Note:

   • The name must be unique.
   • Alphanumerics (Latin and ASCII character sets), underscore, dash and period characters are allowed. Mixed case is allowed.
4. In the Create Repository page, select one of these options to initialize the repository.
   • Template
     • An empty repository whose layout you can configure any way you choose
     • The standard trunk/branches/tags tree structure for repository files and directories
     • A template created from a dump file or zip archive of a repository's contents
     
   • Backup: load the new repository from an existing backup.
     
   • Cloud Repositories: select a repository that you backed up to the CollabNet Cloud. It will be restored as a new local repository.
5. Click Create.
