|
Instead of moving your entire project to GitLab, you can connect your
|
|
|
|
|
external repository to get the benefits of GitLab CI/CD.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Connecting an external repository will set up [repository mirroring][mirroring]
|
|
|
|
|
and create a lightweight project where issues, merge requests, wiki, and
|
|
|
|
|
snippets disabled. These features
|
|
|
|
|
[can be re-enabled later][settings].

|
|
|
To connect to an external repository:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
1. From your GitLab dashboard, click **New project**.
|
|
|
|
|
1. Switch to the **CI/CD for external repo** tab.
|
|
|
|
|
1. Choose **GitHub** or **Repo by URL**.
|
|
|
|
|
1. The next steps are similar to the [import flow](../../user/project/import/index.md).
