Create a New Project

Projects can be created directly in your personal area or under a group. For larger projects, it is always recommended to use the “Create a New Group” approach, as this also provides additional features such as Epics and roadmaps. This also makes it easier to transfer the project to another person, for example, if someone leaves the project.

Note: In this guide, you create a project from the git.nrw project template using “Import Project”.

  1. To “(4) New Project”: Click on “New Project” in the top-right corner of the homepage, and then select “Import Project”.

The three options “Create blank project”, “Create from template”, and “Import project” are shown.

  1. Import project from a “GitLab Export”.

    The screenshot shows the left-aligned button “GitLab Export”, which must be clicked to import a project template.

  2. Import the project template “2025-05-06_projektvorlage_git_nrw.tar.gz” , assign a project name, and optionally adjust the project URL.

This points to the “Browse” button on the left side to include the project template.
