How to Add & Upload a New Project to an Existing GitLab repository

Hey fellow lovers of GitHub! I actually just updated this video with some better, safer and easier ways to upload your existing project to GitLab. Please check this video out and give it a thumbs up!
• How to Push an Existin...
Using GitLab? Need to push a new project to your existing GitLab repo? It's not hard to do. In this quick GitLab push to remote tutorial, I'll show you how to take an existing project, add it to Git locally, and then connect that local Git repository to an existing GitLab repository on the server. Honestly, it's not hard to push a new project to an existing GitLab repository. Just a few git add and git remote commands will do it!

You're the man! Holy Cow you have made this stuff so much easier than what the text guides have to offer through gitlab.

[@cameronmcnz]

Glad to help! I've got a long form GitLab and Git tutorial coming out soon. Would love your feedback when it comes out!

"Don't say I'm afraid of commitment, I commit all the time" 😂, thank you for that - genuinely the first time I smiled without trying all day

[@polizona]

at work asked me "what r u watching?"

[@abdulalinawrozie8070]

Thank you so much, after spending hours on the other websites I finally figured out how git/gitlab works. very simple and straight-forward explanation. Thank you once again. ❤

[@cameronmcnz]

Thanks for the kind words! This is actually the proper way to do it, but there’s an easier way. Just clone, copy your files into the cloned repo, commit and push. No messing with remote refs. I’m going to redo this video and show both ways. Too late for you maybe but others might enjoy it. Thanks for making me smile this morning!

[@doaamarshal1835]

Well, you're my hero, honestly the easiest time to understand these things, I just succeeded the first time and have been trying since last night! Keep at it

[@cameronmcnz]

Happy to be of service! I actually updated this video to show some alternate ways to push up without a force, but if the approach worked for you, then that's awesome! www.theserverside.com/blog/Coffee-Talk-Java-News-Stories-and-Opinions/How-to-add-and-push-an-existing-project-to-GitLab

[@alishbajaved8022]

For those still having issues Go in your project folder in file explorer and delete the git hidden file already created Perform all these instructions described in the video again and you're good to go

[@AaAa-of1lp]

Thank you so much

[@cameronmcnz]

Glad I could help. Git and GitHub gets much easier after this point, I promise!

My pleasure!

[@glgurel_21598]

this is best tutorial, thank you Cameron

[@pravin1877]

God bless you exactly what I was looking for Thanks a lot

[@yxs8495]

I think you mean add a repository to a Project. The Project is in the remote Gitlab server and the repo is usually on your local machine. Your push the repo to the Project. You usually create a folder on your local machine and type in git init. This creates the repository. Which you then push to the Project. Every Project has a repo ... in addition to other things e.g. wiki, issues, people permissions etc ...

[@rishu_rvlogs5113]

thanks for the video.

GitLab makes it easy!

[@rochanarathnayake]

Thank You Sir This helped me lot ❤❤

[@cameronmcnz]

Please check out the updated tutorial. It shows a few easier approaches to upload new projects to GitLab, while avoiding any forced pushes which can be dangerous. Check it out! kzbin.info/www/bejne/hZeknWmIa994rrcsi=jU3nNdShKEfCxFgF

[@omarm.k.shehada3959]

Appreciate that. Thank you. I have a couple of questions, if I may: I work on a project locally, and managed to push it remotely and everything is going well. Pushing and pulling. My question is, how can I pull changes from other repos? And from same repo, but different branch?

[@cameronmcnz]

Is the other repo the same project or a different one? Easy way? Just pull the other project, delete its hidden .git directory, create a new branch in your base project, copy the files over, and do a commit and push. Voila! Your other project is now on a separate branch of the base project.

[@omarm.k.shehada3959]

@@cameronmcnz same project of course but from different developer. That would help. Thank you.

[@cameronmcnz]

@@omarm.k.shehada3959 Yeah, like you could configure remote references etc and do it the 'git way.' But this is a good cheat way to just get it done simply and quickly.

[@namnguyen-cd2om]

thank you

[@cameronmcnz]

Thanks for watching! I actually have an updated tutorial on this for some ways to do this without a forced push too!

[@victorananth]

It is pushing to my GitHub :(

[@primavera919]

Damm SVN is much easier but companies still want to migrate to Git, that sucks

[@cameronmcnz]

Once you get more familiar with Git it starts to make a lot more sense. Give it a chance and you'll learn to love it!

[@bahauddinchishte]

Hey, My updated code was successfully pushed to GIT but I do not find any updated code/file on the repository? Also, I waited and reload my page but the file did not showing up :( Can you please help me with this?

[@cameronmcnz]

Do you have multiple branches? The code might be in a different branch?

[@bahauddinchishte]

@@cameronmcnz Hey, I solved it. Thanks!

[@cameronmcnz]

@@bahauddinchishte Awesome! What was it?

[@bahauddinchishte]

@@cameronmcnz I don't know actually. But After creating a new deposit and changing the shell from Bash to Zsh, it works fine now.
