# Insert a Repository

To insert a repository, the XML that you construct should look similar to the following example.

    <insertXML>
        <insert>
            <reference>RepositoryInsert</reference>
            <property name="Organization" value="OrgName"/>
            <property name="Repository" value="NewRepoName"/>
            <property name="Type" value="Repository"/>
            <xmlmetadata>
                <description>Test repository</description>
                <private>True</private>
                <team_id>1</team_id>
            </xmlmetadata>
        </insert>
    </insertXML>
