Set up GitLab project

März 9, 2018 - Lesezeit: 2 Minuten

On GitLab

1.     setup an user account for free on https://gitlab.com/users/sign_in
   If you decide to use social login, don’t forget to set up an username and a password, since you will need it for pushing the project later on.
2.     Log in and create new empty private project (no README).
3.     Folow the next steps on your local machine

On your local command line

cd ~
cat .gitconfig
git config --global user.name "Hoang"
git config --global user.email "joe@hohohoho.com"
