Using a Git Client

In order to sync your local project on your computer to GitLab you will need to install and setup a Git client such as SourceTree or GitKraken.
For a list of Git clients that are compatible with GitLab see the following websites.

• https://about.gitlab.com/applications/#gui-git-clients
• https://git-scm.com/downloads/guis

Alternately, if you prefer using Git via the command line, you can find helpful documentation here:

https://gitlab.blinkm.io/help/gitlab-basics/start-using-git.md 

SSH Keys

As part of your Git setup process you will need to create an SSH key.
Detailed instructions on how to do this can be found here: https://gitlab.blinkm.io/help/ssh/README

Now, from the GitLab Dashboard page, go to Profile Settings -> SSH Keys and take the complete contents of your new id_rsa.pub file and use it to “Add key” to GitLab. 

 If you need a config file as part of your setup, see the Troubleshooting section of this documentation. 

Testing your setup

You can test your setup by running the appropriate commands on the command line, or by adding a new remote GitLab repository path to your local Git client and testing the pull, push and commit functionality.
