Since this endpoint can be used to both update and to create a repository, the request body depends on the intent.

​
Creation

See the POST documentation for the repository endpoint for an example of the request body.

​
Update

Note: Changing the name of the repository will cause the location to be changed. This is because the URL of the repo is derived from the name (a process called slugification). In such a scenario, it is possible for the request to fail if the newly created slug conflicts with an existing repository’s slug. But if there is no conflict, the new location will be returned in the Location header of the response.
