Initialize a Project
Now, we can initialize a project. Return to the admin dashboard by clicking on the "Admin area" button as before. Click on the "New Project" button on the left side:
You can also get to this area by clicking on the "New project" button in the top navigation bar:
Pick a name and a namespace. A namespace is who will own the project. We will give the group we created ownership of our project. You should also fill out a description and choose whether the repo should be public.
It is also possible to import a repository from another site. You can click the "Import existing repository" link to get access to this functionality.
You will be taken to a page that will show you how to clone the project to your local computer, or push a local project to your new repository on GitLab.
You will be given a repository link that you can use to clone the repository and share with group members (or other people if it is public).
If you follow the instructions, you should be able to push your first commit to your GitLab repository.
