### Blank projects
To create a new blank project on the **New project** page:
1. Click **Create blank project**
1. Provide the following information:
- The name of your project in the **Project name** field. You can't use
special characters, but you can use spaces, hyphens, underscores, or even
emoji. When adding the name, the **Project slug** auto populates.
The slug is what the GitLab instance uses as the URL path to the project.
If you want a different slug, input the project name first,
then change the slug after.
- The path to your project in the **Project slug** field. This is the URL
path for your project that the GitLab instance uses. If the
**Project name** is blank, it auto populates when you fill in
the **Project slug**.
- The **Project description (optional)** field enables you to enter a
description for your project's dashboard, which helps others
understand what your project is about. Though it's not required, it's a good
idea to fill this in.
- Changing the **Visibility Level** modifies the project's
[viewing and access rights](../../public_access/public_access.md) for users.
- Selecting the **Initialize repository with a README** option creates a
README file so that the Git repository is initialized, has a default branch, and
can be cloned.
1. Click **Create project**.
### Project templates
Project templates can pre-populate a new project with the necessary files to get you
started quickly.
There are two main types of project templates:
- [Built-in templates](#built-in-templates), sourced from the following groups:
- [`project-templates`](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/project-templates)
- [`pages`](https://gitlab.com/pages)
- [Custom project templates](#custom-project-templates), for custom templates
configured by GitLab administrators and users.
#### Built-in templates
Built-in templates are project templates that are:
- Developed and maintained in the [`project-templates`](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/project-templates)
and [`pages`](https://gitlab.com/pages) groups.
- Released with GitLab.
- Anyone can contribute a built-in template by following [these steps](https://about.gitlab.com/community/contribute/project-templates/).
To use a built-in template on the **New project** page:
1. Click **Create from template**

select **Enable Static Application Security Testing (SAST)**.
1. Select **Create project**.
## Create a project from a built-in template
A built-in project template populates a new project with files to get you started.
Built-in templates are sourced from the following groups:
- [`project-templates`](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/project-templates)
- [`pages`](https://gitlab.com/pages)
Anyone can contribute a built-in template by following [these steps](https://about.gitlab.com/community/contribute/project-templates/).

Available Enterprise templates include:
- HIPAA Audit Protocol template ([introduced](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/13756) in GitLab 12.10)
## Push to create a new project
NOTE:
You can improve the existing built-in templates or contribute new ones in the
[`project-templates`](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/project-templates) and
[`pages`](https://gitlab.com/pages) groups by following [these steps](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/project-templates/contributing).
> [Introduced](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-foss/-/issues/26388) in GitLab 10.5.
##### Custom project templates **(PREMIUM)**
Use `git push` to push a local project repository to GitLab. After you push a repository,
GitLab creates your project in your chosen namespace.
> [Introduced](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/6860) in [GitLab Premium](https://about.gitlab.com/pricing/) 11.2.
You cannot use `git push` to create projects with project paths that:
Creating new projects based on custom project templates is a convenient option for
quickly starting projects.
- Have previously been used.
- Have been [renamed](settings/index.md#renaming-a-repository).
Custom projects are available at the [instance-level](../../user/admin_area/custom_project_templates.md)
from the **Instance** tab, or at the [group-level](../../user/group/custom_project_templates.md)
from the **Group** tab, on the **Create from template** page.
Previously used project paths have a redirect. The redirect causes push attempts to redirect requests
to the renamed project location, instead of creating a new project. To create a new project for a previously
used or renamed project, use the [UI](#create-a-project) or the [Projects API](../../api/projects.md#create-project).
To use a custom project template on the **New project** page:
Prerequisites:
1. Click **Create from template**
1. Select the **Instance** tab or the **Group** tab.
1. From the list of available custom templates, click the:
- **Preview** button to look at the template source itself.
- **Use template** button to start creating the project.
1. Finish creating the project by filling out the project's details. The process is
the same as creating a [blank project](#blank-projects).
- To push with SSH, you must have [an SSH key](../../ssh/index.md) that is
[added to your GitLab account](../../ssh/index.md#add-an-ssh-key-to-your-gitlab-account).
- You must have permission to add new projects to a namespace. To check if you have permission:
## Push to create a new project
1. On the top bar, select **Menu > Project**.
1. Select **Groups**.
1. Select a group.
1. Confirm that **New project** is visible in the upper right
corner. Contact your GitLab
administrator if you require permission.
> [Introduced](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-foss/-/issues/26388) in GitLab 10.5.
To push your repository and create a project:
When you create a new repository locally, you don't have to sign in to the GitLab
interface to create a project and
[clone its repository](../../gitlab-basics/start-using-git.md#clone-a-repository).
You can directly push your new repository to GitLab, which creates your new project
without leaving your terminal.
To push a new project:
1. Identify the [namespace](../group/index.md#namespaces) you want to add the new
project to, as you need this information in a future step. To determine if you have
permission to create new projects in a namespace, view the group's page in a
web browser and confirm the page displays a **New project** button.
NOTE:
As project creation permissions can have many factors, contact your
GitLab administrator if you're unsure.
1. If you want to push using SSH, ensure you have [created a SSH key](../../ssh/index.md) and
[added it to your GitLab account](../../ssh/index.md#add-an-ssh-key-to-your-gitlab-account).
1. Push with one of the following methods. Replace `gitlab.example.com` with the
domain name of the machine that hosts your Git repository, `namespace` with the name of
your namespace, and `myproject` with the name of your new project:
- To push with SSH: `git push --set-upstream git@gitlab.example.com:namespace/myproject.git master`
- To push with HTTPS: `git push --set-upstream https://gitlab.example.com/namespace/myproject.git master`
Optional: to export existing repository tags, append the `--tags` flag to your `git push` command.
1. When the push completes, GitLab displays a message:
1. Push with SSH or HTTPS:
- To push with SSH:
```plaintext
remote: The private project namespace/myproject was created.
```shell
git push --set-upstream git@gitlab.example.com:namespace/myproject.git master
```
1. Optional. To configure the remote, alter the command
`git remote add origin https://gitlab.example.com/namespace/myproject.git`
to match your namespace and project names.
- To push with HTTPS:
You can view your new project at `https://gitlab.example.com/namespace/myproject`.
Your project's visibility is set to **Private** by default, but you can change it
in your [project's settings](../../public_access/public_access.md#change-project-visibility)).
```shell
git push --set-upstream https://gitlab.example.com/namespace/myproject.git master
```
This feature does not work for project paths that have previously been in use and
[renamed](settings/index.md#renaming-a-repository). A redirect exists over the previous project path
that causes push attempts to redirect requests to the renamed project location, instead of creating
a new project. To create a new project, use the [Web UI](#create-a-project) or the
[Projects API](../../api/projects.md#create-project).
- For `gitlab.example.com`, use the domain name of the machine that hosts your Git repository.
- For `namespace`, use the name of your [namespace](../group/index.md#namespaces).
- For `myproject`, use the name of your project.
- Optional. To export existing repository tags, append the `--tags` flag to your `git push` command.
1. Optional. To configure the remote:
## Fork a project
```shell
git remote add origin https://gitlab.example.com/namespace/myproject.git
```
When the push completes, GitLab displays the message:
A fork is a copy of an original repository that you put in another namespace
where you can experiment and apply changes that you can later decide whether or
not to share, without affecting the original project.
```shell
remote: The private project namespace/myproject was created.
```
It takes just a few steps to [fork a project in GitLab](repository/forking_workflow.md#creating-a-fork).
To view your new project, go to `https://gitlab.example.com/namespace/myproject`.
Your project's visibility is set to **Private** by default. To change project visibility, adjust your
[project's settings](../../public_access/public_access.md#change-project-visibility).
## Star a project
