Configure a Metadata Repository in GitLab for your Project

Depending on the platform you want to use, you can generate a new repository in GitLab to manage your project metadata with the Git version control system.

Create a repository in GitLab

To create a repository in GitLab:

  • Connect to GitLab with your account

Your GitLab account should have the right to create a new repository.

  • On the Home page, Click on Create a project

  • Select Create blank project

  • Fill in the following information:

      1. Project name: fill in a name for the new repository

      2. Visibility level: choose Private

      3. Project Configuration: check Initialize repository with a README

If you do not check Initialize repository with a README, the repository will be created without a main branch. For biGENIUS-X, you need a main branch.

    • Click on the Create project button.
    • Your new repository is created:
    • Click on the Clone button

It is mandatory to use the URL given under the Clone with HTTPS. This URL must have a .git at the end, such as https://gitlab.com/XXXXX/YYYYYY.git.

 

You can now create a Project with this metadata repository HTTPS URL.
