How to add an image

The following are the steps to add images to your repository in GitLab:

Find the image that you’d like to add.

In your computer files, find the GitLab project to which you'd like to add the image (you'll find it as a regular file). Click on every file until you find exactly where you'd like to add the image. There, paste the image.

Go to your shell, and add the following commands:

• To find the correct file, add this command for every file that you'd like to open until you reach the file where you added your image:

cd NAME-OF-FILE-YOU'D-LIKE-TO-OPEN

• Create a new branch:

git checkout -b NAME-OF-BRANCH

• Check if your image was correctly added to the file:

ls

You should see the name of the image in the list shown.

• Go back one file:

cd ../

• Check the status and you should see your image’s name in red:

git status

• Add your changes:

git add NAME-OF-YOUR-IMAGE

• Check the status and you should see your image’s name in green:

git status

• Add the commit:

git commit -m “DESCRIBE COMMIT IN A FEW WORDS”

• Send your changes to GitLab.com:

git push origin NAME-OF-BRANCH

Your image should've been added to your repository in GitLab.
