# Create a container

> Create a workspace, project, or repository.

# `registry__create_container`

Create a container for artifacts.

* Inputs: required `container` (`workspace`, `project`, or `repo`). Workspaces
  and projects require `name`; projects and repos require `workspace_id`. Repos
  also require `source_type` and `source_uri`. Optional fields depend on the
  selected container arm.
* Returns: the created container and its handle.
* Effect: writes state. Container names are stable handles and cannot be edited
  later.

Use `registry__list_containers` to find a parent workspace or project before
creating a nested container.
