Description

The UX for creating a mirror repo is a little confusing. On the home dashboard, there are two places to create a repo: right next to the search box, and with the plus icon at the top of the page. Intuitively, it would seem that if I select the "Mirrors" tab and then click the nearest plus icon I should make a new mirror ("migration") repo. However, turns out I actually have to click the top right corner icon to do so.

This got me stuck for a a little while. If possible, it would be really awesome to consolidate repo creation into one location, or change the plus icon in the repo browser to pop up a dialog for creating regular or mirror repo.

I would vote for consolidating repo creation into single form
