Getting started with GitLab: How to import your projects to GitLab

The "Getting Started with GitLab" series provides an in-depth guide on importing projects to the GitLab DevSecOps platform, essential for leveraging its collaborative features. The process involves importing local projects that may or may not use Git, as well as transferring projects from online sources like GitHub, Bitbucket, and Gitea. For local Git projects, users must create a new GitLab project, configure the remote origin, and push existing branches and tags. Non-Git projects require initializing Git before proceeding similarly. When importing from online platforms, GitLab supports various authentication methods, such as OAuth for GitHub and Bitbucket Cloud, while personal access tokens are necessary for Gitea. The guide emphasizes the importance of understanding the limitations and known issues with each method by consulting GitLab's documentation to ensure a smooth migration process. Moreover, GitLab supports mirroring to keep repositories synchronized across different platforms, which can be useful for maintaining both private and public access to a project. For those wishing to deepen their understanding, GitLab offers courses through GitLab University and a free trial of GitLab Ultimate.
