# 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's features
When you create a project in GitLab, you'll have access to a large number of
[features](https://about.gitlab.com/features/):
**Issues and merge requests:**
- [Issue tracker](issues/index.md): Discuss implementations with your team within issues
- [Issue Boards](issue_board.md): Organize and prioritize your workflow
- [Multiple Issue Boards](https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/user/project/issue_board.html#multiple-issue-boards) (**EES/EEP**): Allow your teams to create their own workflows (Issue Boards) for the same project
- [Repositories](repository/index.md): Host your code in a fully
integrated platform
- [Branches](repository/branches/index.md): use Git branching strategies to
collaborate on code
- [Protected branches](protected_branches.md): Prevent collaborators
from messing with history or pushing code without review
- [Protected tags](protected_tags.md): Control over who has
permission to create tags, and prevent accidental update or deletion
- [Signing commits](gpg_signed_commits/index.md): use GPG to sign your commits
- [Merge Requests](merge_requests/index.md): Apply your branching
strategy and get reviewed by your team
- [Merge Request Approvals](https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/user/project/merge_requests/merge_request_approvals.html) (**EES/EEP**): Ask for approval before
implementing a change
- [Fix merge conflicts from the UI](merge_requests/resolve_conflicts.md):
Your Git diff tool right from GitLab's UI
- [Review Apps](../../ci/review_apps/index.md): Live preview the results
of the changes proposed in a merge request in a per-branch basis
- [Labels](labels.md): Organize issues and merge requests by labels
- [Time Tracking](../../workflow/time_tracking.md): Track estimate time
and time spent on
the conclusion of an issue or merge request
- [Milestones](milestones/index.md): Work towards a target date
- [Description templates](description_templates.md): Define context-specific
templates for issue and merge request description fields for your project
- [Slash commands (quick actions)](quick_actions.md): Textual shortcuts for
common actions on issues or merge requests
**GitLab CI/CD:**
- [GitLab CI/CD](../../ci/README.md): GitLab's built-in [Continuous Integration, Delivery, and Deployment](https://about.gitlab.com/2016/08/05/continuous-integration-delivery-and-deployment-with-gitlab/) tool
- [Container Registry](container_registry.md): Build and push Docker
images out-of-the-box
- [Auto Deploy](../../ci/autodeploy/index.md): Configure GitLab CI/CD
to automatically set up your app's deployment
- [Enable and disable GitLab CI](../../ci/enable_or_disable_ci.md)
- [Pipelines](../../ci/pipelines.md#pipelines): Configure and visualize
your GitLab CI/CD pipelines from the UI
- [Scheduled Pipelines](pipelines/schedules.md): Schedule a pipeline
to start at a chosen time
- [Pipeline Graphs](../../ci/pipelines.md#pipeline-graphs): View your
entire pipeline from the UI
- [Job artifacts](pipelines/job_artifacts.md): Define,
browse, and download job artifacts
- [Pipeline settings](pipelines/settings.md): Set up Git strategy (choose the default way your repository is fetched from GitLab in a job),
timeout (defines the maximum amount of time in minutes that a job is able run), custom path for `.gitlab-ci.yml`, test coverage parsing, pipeline's visibility, and much more
- [GKE cluster integration](clusters/index.md): Connecting your GitLab project
with Google Container Engine
- [GitLab Pages](pages/index.md): Build, test, and deploy your static
website with GitLab Pages
**Other features:**
- [Cycle Analytics](cycle_analytics.md): Review your development lifecycle
- [Syntax highlighting](highlighting.md): An alternative to customize
your code blocks, overriding GitLab's default choice of language
### Project's 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
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)
## Project's 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.
