# 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
)
.
