# How to create a project in GitLab
There are two ways to create a new project in GitLab.
1.
While in your dashboard, you can create a new project using the
**New project**
green button or you can use the cross icon in the upper right corner next to
your avatar which is always visible.
1.
In your dashboard, click the green
**New project**
button or use the plus
icon in the upper right corner of the navigation bar.
![Create a project](img/create_new_project_button.png)
1.
From there you can see several options
.
1.
This opens the
**New project**
page
.
![Project information](img/create_new_project_info.png)
1.
Fill out the information:
1.
"Project name" is the name of your project (you can't use special characters,
but you can use spaces, hyphens, underscores or even emojis).
1.
The "Project description" is optional and will be shown in your project's
dashboard so others can briefly understand what your project is about.
1.
Select a
[
visibility level
](
../public_access/public_access.md
)
.
1.
You can also
[
import your existing projects
](
../workflow/importing/README.md
)
.
1.
Finally, click
**Create project**
.
1.
Provide the following information:
-
Enter 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.
-
If you have a project in a different repository, you can [import it] by
clicking an
**Import project from**
button provided this is enabled in
your GitLab instance. Ask your administrator if not.
-
The
**Project description (optional)**
field enables you to enter a
description for your project's dashboard, which will help 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.
1.
Click
**Create project**
.
[
import it
]:
../workflow/importing/README.md
