# GitLab basics guides
|
|
|
|
This section provides resources to help you start working with GitLab and Git by focusing
|
|
on the basic features that you will need to use.
|
|
|
|
This documentation is split into the following groups:
|
|
|
|
- [GitLab-specific functionality](#gitlab-basics), for basic GitLab features.
|
|
- [General Git functionality](#working-with-git-from-the-command-line), for working
|
|
with Git in conjunction with GitLab.
|
|
|
|
## GitLab basics
|
|
|
|
The following are guides to basic GitLab functionality:
|
|
|
|
- [Create and add your SSH public key](create-your-ssh-keys.md), for enabling Git over SSH.
|
|
- [Create a project](create-project.md), to start using GitLab.
|
|
- [Create a group](../user/group/index.md#create-a-new-group), to combine and administer
|
|
projects together.
|
|
- [Create a branch](create-branch.md), to make changes to files stored in a project's repository.
|
|
- [Fork a project](fork-project.md), to duplicate projects so they can be worked on in parallel.
|
|
- [Add a file](add-file.md), to add new files to a project's repository.
|
|
- [Create an issue](../user/project/issues/managing_issues.md#create-a-new-issue),
|
|
to start collaborating within a project.
|
|
- [Create a merge request](add-merge-request.md), to request changes made in a branch
|
|
be merged into a project's repository.
|
|
- See how these features come together in the [GitLab Flow introduction video](https://youtu.be/InKNIvky2KE)
|
|
and [GitLab Flow page](../workflow/gitlab_flow.md).
|
|
|
|
## Working with Git from the command line
|
|
|
|
If you're familiar with Git on the command line, you can interact with your GitLab
|
|
projects just as you would with any other Git repository.
|
|
|
|
These resources will help get further acclimated to working on the command line.
|
|
|
|
- [Start using Git on the command line](start-using-git.md), for some simple Git commands.
|
|
- [Command line basics](command-line-commands.md), to create and edit files using the command line.
|
|
|
|
More Git resources are available in GitLab's [Git documentation](../topics/git/index.md).
