You can do direct transition and edit already existing repository – choose //Target: OCI repository, //adapt the url as shown above (__repo name can't be changed__), then the installed apps will pick app the repo change automatically. The issue is that the OCI repository needs to target chart repos in the url, not the whole folder anymore.  That means if you previously deployed previously different apps using the old repo, for example "bitbucket" and "jira", now you can only target one repo, for example "bitbucket", other repos updates wont be working anymore and you will still need to create a new repo targeting each chartrepo.
