 **What is a repository?**\\
-Read about it in the [[definitions?do=export_xhtml|definitions topic.]]
+Simply put; it is a folder kept somewhere which stores not just files and internal folders but also their various versions. Read about it in the [[definitions?do=export_xhtml|definitions topic.]]
 **Who can create a new repository?**\\
-A new repository can be created by anyone. The person who had logged in automatically becomes the freshly created repository's "owner" It can also be created by another trusted person (i.e. a //manager//) of the owner too. (Read about setting a person as a manager [[setunsetmanager?do=export_xhtml|here]])
+You just need a PAT (Personal Access Token) to one of the 3 types of Git Host we support, to create a repository. You automatically becomes the freshly created repository's "owner". If you have been assigned as a manager to someone else, then that person would have given you an //encrypted// PAT.

 **What are the mandatory requirements?**\\
-//Git Winch// should be aware of the Org. name for which the repository is to be created. If this //orgname// was not set, then //Git Winch// will first ask you to //book// such a name.
+//Git Winch// should be aware of the Org. name for which the repository is to be created.
-The //Personal Access Token// must be correctly created with the //create repository// permission. If you are the owner of that PAT, you should enter that key in the PAT text-input box on the //Manage// page, and then proceed to create a repository.
+If you are going to be the owner, then the //Personal Access Token// must be correctly created with the //create repository// permission at your Git Host. Then, you should enter that key in the PAT text-input box on the //Manage// page, and then proceed to create a repository.
-A repository can also be created by a manager delegated by the owner of the PAT. In that case, the owner of the PAT should create an **//encrypted//** version of the PAT and share that encrypted version to that trusted person.
-Such managers should NOT enter that encrypted key into the PAT text-input box. (i.e. that box must be left empty) Instead, //Git Winch// will specifically ask for the encrypted PAT and then proceed to create a new repository. The original owner will remain the owner of the repository.
+If you are a manager, do NOT enter anything in the earlier mentioned text-input box. (i.e. that input box must be left empty)  You would have received the **//encrypted//** version of the PAT from the actual owner. So be ready with that.
-Read more about [[/gitlabApiToken1?do=export_xhtml | PAT here. ]]
+When a manager creates repo, //Git Winch// will specifically ask for the encrypted PAT which had got from the actual owner. Then //Git Winch// will proceed to create a new repository at the Git Host. The original owner will remain the owner of the repository.
