I was reading a book on learning programming languages called The Complete ASP.NET Core 3 API Tutorial by Les Jackson-Apress when I came across the following part:

That’s our repository sorted for our Create method, what’s next?

Some points I should mention:

For the time being, the Create method is completed totally and we should move on to completing the next method (for example: the Update method, or Delete method)

Now, I want to know which construction the highlighted sentence has? for example:

That's + 'something' + pp + ...

Is the pattern came above correct? If not, can anyone rewrite it in another form for me to understand it better?

It's an informal way of saying "Now we have sorted out the repository for our Create method".

Other similar expressions are "That's you done" (I have finished what I needed to do to you), "That's me told" (You have corrected a mistake I made rather forcibly), and so on.

In the body of the question you ask about the grammar. This is an informal comment in a tutorial. In a lecture it would be a transitional remark. I don't think it's worth trying to decide what grammatical construction it exemplifies.

The title of the question asks for the meaning. You may not have that right. I don't think the sentence says the Create method is done. That would be the case if "for" were replaced by "by". I would read this as

We have just sorted the repository, so it is ready for input to our Create method. What is the next step?

I would need more context to know for sure.
