# 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:

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:

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 :

Add all the information that you'd like to include in your file:

Add a commit message based on what you just added and then click on "commit changes":

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
)
.
