GitLab Environment — Creating a Project

Create and manage repositories inside your private GitLab group.

Create a new project

1. Sign in to git.nexus-cloud.uk
2. Open your group (created at provisioning)
3. Click New project → Create blank project
4. Set the project name, visibility (Private recommended), and initialize with a README if you want

Clone to your computer

HTTPS (with token)

git clone https://git.nexus-cloud.uk/your-group/your-project.git
cd your-project

When prompted for a password, use a Personal Access Token — not your GitLab login password. See Access Tokens.

SSH

Add your SSH public key in GitLab → Preferences → SSH Keys, then:

git clone git@git.nexus-cloud.uk:your-group/your-project.git

Install Git

Windows — git-scm.com/download/win

macOS — xcode-select --install or Homebrew: brew install git

Linux — apt install git or dnf install git

Configure your identity once:

git config --global user.name "Your Name"
git config --global user.email "you@example.com"

Typical workflow

git add .
git commit -m "Describe your change"
git push origin main

Pushes to the default branch can trigger your CI/CD pipeline if configured — see CI/CD for FiveM.

Adding team members

As group owner, go to Group → Members and invite developers by username or email with the appropriate role (Developer, Maintainer, etc.).
