Elixir, phoenix, ecto : can't add data to my tables - postgresql

Question

I am trying to add rows to the table 'users' I have created, but I get this error:
iex(3)> user = %User{username: "mel", email: "mail"}
%Theme01.User{
__meta__: #Ecto.Schema.Metadata<:built, "user">,
id: nil,
email: "mail",
username: "mel",
clocks: #Ecto.Association.NotLoaded<association :clocks is not loaded>,
inserted_at: nil,
updated_at: nil
}
iex(4)> user = Repo.insert(User)

Attempted function clauses (showing 2 out of 2):

(ecto 3.9.1) lib/ecto/repo/schema.ex:303: Ecto.Repo.Schema.insert/4
iex:4: (file)
Here is the schema of my table :
defmodule Theme01.User do
use Ecto.Schema
import Ecto.Changeset
alias Theme01.Clock
schema "user" do
field :email, :string
field :username, :string
has_many(:clocks, Clock)
timestamps()
end
#doc false
def changeset(user, attrs) do
user
|> cast(attrs, [:username, :email])
|> validate_required([:username, :email])
end
end
and here is the migration function
defmodule Theme01.Repo.Migrations.CreateUser do
use Ecto.Migration
def change do
create table("users") do
add :username, :string, null: false
add :email, :string, null: false
timestamps()
end
create unique_index(:users, [:username])
end
end
I've been stuck on this for way too long, any help will be greatly appreciated
I've checked that my tables exist, and they do appear when I run \dt in psql. I've also checked that my config/dev.exs is set for the correct database.

Repo.insert(User) is an attempt to insert an atom User (see titlecase) into the table.
Instead, you are to create an Ecto.Changeset and then insert it into the database, somewhat like below.
%User{}
|> User.changeset(attrs)
|> Repo.insert()
