How to upload projects on gitlab by user?

Question

We are using Gitlab (7.5.3).

I created a Repository, but I want to upload my project to it.

I've looked on the repository page for an upload button of some kind but I haven't seen anything of the sort.

I've looked at the links provided so far but I'm still getting nowhere. They mention command line, is that Windows command line ?

I am able to upload through Git GUI, how to upload without Git GUI?

And when I login to user account through putty ,it shows

login as: root
[email protected]'s password:
Last login: Tue May 26 12:20:10 2015 from 192.168.1.12
![grep: write error]

Does anyone knows how we can solve these issue?

Answer 1

If you have Git GUI, you probably also have Git Bash which provide command line support for git inside Windows.

You can use this Git Bash to upload your project. For this, you just need some git command, and you don't have to log in the Gitlab's server (I supposed it's why you tried). This command are provided by Gitlab when you create a new project and want to upload it.

First open Git Bash. Then :

cd c:\Users\Me\..\my_project\   # Go to your project directory in Windows
git init                        # Initialize this directory as a git repo
git remote add origin git@your_gitlab_server_ip:your_username/your_project_name.git
git push -u origin master`      # Send your code to your Gitlab instance

It's also a good idead to provide to git some info about you. This infos will be displayed by Gitlab :

git config --global user.name "Your Name"
git config --global user.email "your_name@your_mail.com"

Remember that with Gitlab the only interaction between your git's repo and Gitlab should happend through the git command, and not with login to this server.

Try this 4 step push project to gitlab --> open command line.

cd to/path/local
git init
git remote add anything_name name http://scmgit.ktb/username/projectname.git
git push -u test anything_name master

Hope is save you day.
