# How to add a file
You can create a file in your [shell](command-line-commands.md) or in GitLab.
To create a file in GitLab, sign in to GitLab.
Select a project on the right side of your screen:
![Select a project](img/select_project.png)
It's a good idea to [create a branch](create-branch.md), but it's not necessary.
Go to the directory where you'd like to add the file and click on the "+" sign next to the name of the project and directory:
![Create a file](img/create_file.png)
Name your file (you can't add spaces, so you can use hyphens or underscores). Don't forget to include the markup language you'd like to use :
![File name](img/file_name.png)
Add all the information that you'd like to include in your file:
![Add information](img/white_space.png)
Add a commit message based on what you just added and then click on "commit changes":
![Commit changes](img/commit_changes.png)
You can create a file in your [terminal](command-line-commands.md) and push
to GitLab or you can use the
[web interface](../user/project/repository/web_editor.md#create-a-file).
