Once we have created the project as mentioned “Getting started for First Project with GitLab” and added SSH keys “How to add SSH keys in GitLab ?“, its time now to push our first repository source code to GitLab.
Here we are creating simple source code with single text file, commit this to local git and then push to project in GitLab.
$ mkdir helloworld$ cd helloworld_new/$ git init$ git branch -m main$ git branch
* main$ echo "hellowrld GitLab" > helloworld_readme.txt$ git add .$ git commit -a -s$ git log
