# Projects
In GitLab, you can create projects for hosting
your codebase, use it as an issue tracker, collaborate on code, and continuously
build, test, and deploy your app with built-in GitLab CI/CD.
Your projects can be [available](../../public_access/public_access.md)
publicly, internally, or privately, at your choice. GitLab does not limit
the number of private projects you create.
## Project features
When you create a project in GitLab, you'll have access to a large number of
[features](https://about.gitlab.com/features/):

### Project integrations
[Integrate your project](integrations/index.md) with Jira, Mattermost,
Kubernetes, Slack, and a lot more.
## New project
Learn how to [create a new project](../../gitlab-basics/create-project.md) in GitLab.
### Fork a project
You can [fork a project](../../gitlab-basics/fork-project.md) in order to:
- Collaborate on code by forking a project and creating a merge request
from your fork to the upstream project
- Fork a sample project to work on the top of that
## Project settings
Set the project's visibility level and the access levels to its various pages
and perform actions like archiving, renaming or transferring a project.
Read through the documentation on [project settings](settings/index.md).
## Import or export a project
- [Import a project](import/index.md) from:
- [GitHub to GitLab](import/github.md)
- [BitBucket to GitLab](import/bitbucket.md)
- [Gitea to GitLab](import/gitea.md)
- [FogBugz to GitLab](import/fogbugz.md)
- [Export a project from GitLab](settings/import_export.md#exporting-a-project-and-its-data)
- [Importing and exporting projects between GitLab instances](settings/import_export.md)
## CI/CD for external repositories **(PREMIUM)**
Instead of importing a repository directly to GitLab, you can connect your repository
as a CI/CD project.
Read through the documentation on [CI/CD for external repositories](../../ci/ci_cd_for_external_repos/index.md).
## Project members
Learn how to [add members to your projects](members/index.md).
### Leave a project
**Leave project** will only display on the project's dashboard
when a project is part of a group (under a
[group namespace](../group/index.md#namespaces)).
If you choose to leave a project you will no longer be a project
member, therefore, unable to contribute.
## Redirects when changing repository paths
When a repository path changes, it is essential to smoothly transition from the
old location to the new one. GitLab provides two kinds of redirects: the web UI
and Git push/pull redirects.
Depending on the situation, different things apply.
When [renaming a user](../profile/index.md#changing-your-username),
[changing a group path](../group/index.md#changing-a-groups-path) or [renaming a repository](settings/index.md#renaming-a-repository):
- Existing web URLs for the namespace and anything under it (e.g., projects) will
redirect to the new URLs.
- Starting with GitLab 10.3, existing Git remote URLs for projects under the
namespace will redirect to the new remote URL. Every time you push/pull to a
repository that has changed its location, a warning message to update
your remote will be displayed instead of rejecting your action.
This means that any automation scripts, or Git clients will continue to
work after a rename, making any transition a lot smoother.
- The redirects will be available as long as the original path is not claimed by
another group, user or project.
## Use your project as a Go package
Any project can be used as a Go package including private projects in subgroups. To use packages
hosted in private projects with the `go get` command, use a [`.netrc` file](https://ec.haxx.se/usingcurl-netrc.html)
and a [personal access token](../profile/personal_access_tokens.md) in the password field.
For example:
```text
machine example.gitlab.com
login <gitlab_user_name>
password <personal_access_token>
```
## Access project page with project ID
> [Introduced](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/issues/53671) in GitLab 11.8.
To quickly access a project from the GitLab UI using the project ID,
visit the `/projects/:id` URL in your browser or other tool accessing the project.
## Project aliases **(PREMIUM ONLY)**
> [Introduced](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ee/issues/3264) in [GitLab Premium](https://about.gitlab.com/pricing/) 12.1.
When migrating repositories to GitLab and they are being accessed by other systems,
it's very useful to be able to access them using the same name especially when
they are a lot. It reduces the risk of changing significant number of Git URLs in
a large number of systems.
GitLab provides a functionality to help with this. In GitLab, repositories are
usually accessed with a namespace and project name. It is also possible to access
them via a project alias. This feature is only available on Git over SSH.
A project alias can be only created via API and only by GitLab administrators.
Follow the [Project Aliases API documentation](../../api/project_aliases.md) for
more details.
Once an alias has been created for a project (e.g., an alias `gitlab-ce` for the
project `https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce`), the repository can be cloned
using the alias (e.g `git clone git@gitlab.com:gitlab-ce.git` instead of
`git clone git@gitlab.com:gitlab-org/gitlab-ce.git`).

There are numerous [APIs](../../api/README.md) to use with your projects:
