How to create a badge to open repository in MATLAB online

In the README file of the repository MathWorks-Teaching-Resources/Virtual-Controls-Laboratory there is a badge "Open in MATLAB Online" that redirects to MATLAB online and automatically opens a dialog asking if the user wants to clone the repository to their workspace in MATLAB online.

I tried to reproduce this behaviour in my repository by using the markdown

[![Open in MATLAB Online](https://www.mathworks.com/images/responsive/global/open-in-matlab-online.svg)](https://matlab.mathworks.com/open/github/v1?repo=[my_repo_address]&project=MY_REPO.prj)

and adding the file MY_REPO.prj with the same contents of VirtualControlsLaboratory.prj:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<MATLABProject xmlns="http://www.mathworks.com/MATLABProjectFile" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" version="1.0"/>

However, when I click in the link in my repository, it only redirects to MATLAB online and does not open the dialog.

What is the correct way to achieve the same behaviour of Virtual-Controls-Laboratory?

Can you once cross-check if the file MY_REPO.prj is in the root directory of your GitHub repository?

@Rajeev Thanks for your reply. I cross-checked and it is in the root of the repo.

Hi @Rajeev. I found the problem: my repository is private.

Thanks @Hugo Tadashi Kussaba for updating me about it.
