# How to create a project in GitLab
|
|
|
|
>**Notes:**
|
|
- For a list of words that are not allowed to be used as project names see the
|
|
[reserved names][reserved].
|
|
|
|
1. In your dashboard, click the green **New project** button or use the plus
|
|
icon in the upper right corner of the navigation bar.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
1. This opens the **New project** page.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
1. Choose if you want start a blank project, or with one of the predefined
|
|
[Project Templates](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/project-templates):
|
|
this will kickstart your repository code and CI automatically.
|
|
Otherwise, if you have a project in a different repository, you can [import it] by
|
|
clicking an **Import project from** button provided this is enabled in
|
|
your GitLab instance. Ask your administrator if not.
|
|
|
|
1. Provide the following information:
|
|
- Enter the name of your project in the **Project name** field. You can't use
|
|
special characters, but you can use spaces, hyphens, underscores or even
|
|
emoji.
|
|
- The **Project description (optional)** field enables you to enter a
|
|
description for your project's dashboard, which will help others
|
|
understand what your project is about. Though it's not required, it's a good
|
|
idea to fill this in.
|
|
- Changing the **Visibility Level** modifies the project's
|
|
[viewing and access rights](../public_access/public_access.md) for users.
|
|
|
|
1. Click **Create project**.

|
|
[reserved]: ../user/reserved_names.md
