Create a project repository from a template

In this first section, we’ll use a project template to set up a microapp project repository within your vendor's GitLab folder.

Steps:

  1. Navigate to your vendor folder in GitLab.

  2. Click on the New Project.

  3. On the next page, select choose the Create from template.

    Create new project options

    TIP: Using a template saves time and ensures that every microapp project starts with the same structure, tools, and best practices.

  4. Switch to the Group tab.

    Create from template

  5. Find widgets-template. Click Use template.

    Click on Use Template

    NOTE: This template is preconfigured with everything you need: the right folder structure, CI/CD setup, and integrations that work out-of-the-box in our environment.

  6. Fill in the "Create from template" form.

    • Provide a Project name using this format: widgets-{vendor-name}-{widget-name}.
    • Click on Create project.

    Click on Use Template

  7. Wait for the import to complete

Once the import completes, we'll have a fully functional starting point.
