# How to create a group in GitLab
## Create a group
Your projects in [GitLab.com](https://gitlab.com) can be organized in 2 different ways:
under your own namespace for single projects, such as ´your-name/project-1'; or under groups.
If you organize your projects under a group, it works like a folder. You can manage your group members' permissions and access to the projects.
To create a group, follow the instructions below:
Sign in to [GitLab.com](https://gitlab.com).
When you are on your Dashboard, click on "Groups" on the left menu of your screen:
![Go to groups](basicsimages/select-group2.png)
Click on "New group" on the top right side of your screen:
![New group](basicsimages/click-on-new-group.png)
Fill out the information required:
1. Add a group path or group name (you can't add spaces, so you can use hyphens or underscores)
1. Add details or a group description
1. You can choose a group avatar if you'd like
1. Click on "create group"

## Add a project to a group
There are 2 different ways to add a new project to a group:
* Select a group and then click on "New project" on the right side of your screen. Then you can [create a project](create-project.md)
![New project](basicsimages/new_project.png)
* When you are [creating a project](create-project.md), click on "create a group" on the bottom right side of your screen
