379 -1*. Change the target to “OCI Repository”.
380 -1*. Update the URL as required (the repository name cannot be changed).

384 -Important limitation: OCI repositories must point directly to a single chart repository, not to a parent folder.
385 -If your old repository included several charts (for example “bitbucket” and “jira”), then after switching to OCI you can only target one chart (e.g. “bitbucket”).
386 -The other charts will no longer receive updates through this repo, and you will still need to create additional repositories for each individual chart.
387 -)))
388 -1. Add New Repositories One by One (Recommended), preserve the old one till the end. This approach allows a smooth transition while the old ChartMuseum repository continues to function. You can:
389 -1*. Create a new OCI repository for each chart,
390 -1*. Keep the old ChartMuseum repo enabled during the migration,
391 -1*. Migrate applications gradually following the steps described here.
392 -1*. This avoids disruptions and allows controlled migration.
