# How to create a group in GitLab
|
|
|
|
Your projects in GitLab can be organized in 2 different ways:
|
|
under your own namespace for single projects, such as `your-name/project-1` or
|
|
under groups.
|
|
|
|
If you organize your projects under a group, it works like a folder. You can
|
|
manage your group members' permissions and access to the projects.
|
|
|
|
---
|
|
|
|
To create a group:
|
|
|
|
1. Expand the left sidebar by clicking the three bars at the upper left corner
|
|
and then navigate to **Groups**.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
1. Once in your groups dashboard, click on **New group**.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
1. Fill out the needed information:
|
|
|
|
1. Set the "Group path" which will be the namespace under which your projects
|
|
will be hosted (path can contain only letters, digits, underscores, dashes
|
|
and dots; it cannot start with dashes or end in dot).
|
|
1. The "Group name" will populate with the path. Optionally, you can change
|
|
it. This is the name that will display in the group views.
|
|
1. Optionally, you can add a description so that others can briefly understand
|
|
what this group is about.
|
|
1. Optionally, choose and avatar for your project.
|
|
1. Choose the [visibility level](../public_access/public_access.md).
|
|
|
|
1. Finally, click the **Create group** button.
|
|
|
|
## Add a new project to a group
|
|
|
|
There are 2 different ways to add a new project to a group:
|
|
|
|
- Select a group and then click on the **New project** button.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
You can then continue on [creating a project](create-project.md).
|
|
|
|
- While you are [creating a project](create-project.md), select a group namespace
|
|
you've already created from the dropdown menu.
