How to upload project from local file system to GitLab

I have locally developed an application using Laravel Framework and PhpStorm. So, in the file system of my pc I have the project that I want to upload in a repository created in GitLab.

I have to mention that for development purposes I am currently using Homestead in windows with Vagrant virtual machine.

I already have an account in GitLab and for now I have only created a README file.

What are the necessary steps in order to upload my project in GitLab?

Solution

  • you can create new project without Initialize repository with a README file.

    and follow "Push an existing folder" look like:

    Push an existing folder

    cd existing_folder
git init --initial-branch=main
git remote add origin git@gitlab.com:youraccount/project_name.git
git add .
git commit -m "Initial commit"
git push -u origin main
