Marcel Amirault 73c6477b7e Changing badges to use parentheses not brackets 
Previously, we used brackets to denote the tier badges,
but this made Kramdown, the docs site Markdown renderer,
show many warnings when building the site. This is now
fixed by using parentheses instead of square brackets.

This was caused by [PREMIUM] looking like a link to
Kramdown, which couldn't find a URL there.

# Projects
In GitLab, you can create projects for hosting
your codebase, use it as an issue tracker, collaborate on code, and continuously
build, test, and deploy your app with built-in GitLab CI/CD.
Your projects can be [available](../../public_access/public_access.md)
publicly, internally, or privately, at your choice. GitLab does not limit
the number of private projects you create.
## Project features
When you create a project in GitLab, you'll have access to a large number of
[features](https://about.gitlab.com/features/):
**Repositories:**

### Project integrations
[Integrate your project](integrations/index.md) with Jira, Mattermost,
Kubernetes, Slack, and a lot more.
## New project
Learn how to [create a new project](../../gitlab-basics/create-project.md) in GitLab.
### Fork a project
You can [fork a project](../../gitlab-basics/fork-project.md) in order to:
- Collaborate on code by forking a project and creating a merge request
from your fork to the upstream project
- Fork a sample project to work on the top of that
## Project settings
Set the project's visibility level and the access levels to its various pages
and perform actions like archiving, renaming or transferring a project.
Read through the documentation on [project settings](settings/index.md).
## Import or export a project
- [Import a project](import/index.md) from:
- [GitHub to GitLab](import/github.md)
- [BitBucket to GitLab](import/bitbucket.md)
- [Gitea to GitLab](import/gitea.md)
- [FogBugz to GitLab](import/fogbugz.md)
- [Export a project from GitLab](settings/import_export.md#exporting-a-project-and-its-data)
- [Importing and exporting projects between GitLab instances](settings/import_export.md)
## CI/CD for external repositories **(PREMIUM)**
Instead of importing a repository directly to GitLab, you can connect your repository
as a CI/CD project.
Read through the documentation on [CI/CD for external repositories](../../ci/ci_cd_for_external_repos/index.md).
## Project members
Learn how to [add members to your projects](members/index.md).
### Leave a project
**Leave project** will only display on the project's dashboard
when a project is part of a group (under a
[group namespace](../group/index.md#namespaces)).
If you choose to leave a project you will no longer be a project
member, therefore, unable to contribute.
## Redirects when changing repository paths
When a repository path changes, it is essential to smoothly transition from the
old location to the new one. GitLab provides two kinds of redirects: the web UI
and Git push/pull redirects.
Depending on the situation, different things apply.
When [renaming a user](../profile/index.md#changing-your-username),
[changing a group path](../group/index.md#changing-a-groups-path) or [renaming a repository](settings/index.md#renaming-a-repository):
- Existing web URLs for the namespace and anything under it (e.g., projects) will
redirect to the new URLs.
- Starting with GitLab 10.3, existing Git remote URLs for projects under the
namespace will redirect to the new remote URL. Every time you push/pull to a
repository that has changed its location, a warning message to update
your remote will be displayed instead of rejecting your action.
This means that any automation scripts, or Git clients will continue to
work after a rename, making any transition a lot smoother.
- The redirects will be available as long as the original path is not claimed by
another group, user or project.
## Use your project as a Go package
Any project can be used as a Go package including private projects in subgroups. To use packages
hosted in private projects with the `go get` command, use a [`.netrc` file](https://ec.haxx.se/usingcurl-netrc.html)
and a [personal access token](../profile/personal_access_tokens.md) in the password field.
For example:
```text
machine example.gitlab.com
login <gitlab_user_name>
password <personal_access_token>
```
## Access project page with project ID
> [Introduced](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/issues/53671) in GitLab 11.8.
To quickly access a project from the GitLab UI using the project ID,
visit the `/projects/:id` URL in your browser or other tool accessing the project.
## Project aliases **(PREMIUM ONLY)**
> [Introduced](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ee/issues/3264) in [GitLab Premium](https://about.gitlab.com/pricing/) 12.1.
When migrating repositories to GitLab and they are being accessed by other systems,
it's very useful to be able to access them using the same name especially when
they are a lot. It reduces the risk of changing significant number of Git URLs in
a large number of systems.
GitLab provides a functionality to help with this. In GitLab, repositories are
usually accessed with a namespace and project name. It is also possible to access
them via a project alias. This feature is only available on Git over SSH.
A project alias can be only created via API and only by GitLab administrators.
Follow the [Project Aliases API documentation](../../api/project_aliases.md) for
more details.
Once an alias has been created for a project (e.g., an alias `gitlab-ce` for the
project `https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce`), the repository can be cloned
using the alias (e.g `git clone git@gitlab.com:gitlab-ce.git` instead of
`git clone git@gitlab.com:gitlab-org/gitlab-ce.git`).
## Project APIs
There are numerous [APIs](../../api/README.md) to use with your projects:
- [Badges](../../api/project_badges.md)
- [Clusters](../../api/project_clusters.md)
- [Discussions](../../api/discussions.md)
- [General](../../api/projects.md)
- [Import/export](../../api/project_import_export.md)
