You can improve the existing built-in templates or contribute new ones in the

##### Custom project templates **(PREMIUM)**
Use `git push` to push a local project repository to GitLab. After you push a repository,
GitLab creates your project in your chosen namespace.

- Have been [renamed](settings/index.md#renaming-a-repository).
Custom projects are available at the [instance-level](../../user/admin_area/custom_project_templates.md)
Previously used project paths have a redirect. The redirect causes push attempts to redirect requests
from the **Instance** tab, or at the [group-level](../../user/group/custom_project_templates.md)

the same as creating a [blank project](#blank-projects).
## Push to create a new project
1. On the top bar, select **Menu > Project**.
1. Select **Groups**.
1. Select a group.
1. Confirm that **New project** is visible in the upper right
corner. Contact your GitLab
administrator if you require permission.
> [Introduced](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-foss/-/issues/26388) in GitLab 10.5.
To push your repository and create a project:
When you create a new repository locally, you don't have to sign in to the GitLab

- To push with SSH:
[clone its repository](../../gitlab-basics/start-using-git.md#clone-a-repository).
You can directly push your new repository to GitLab, which creates your new project
without leaving your terminal.
To push a new project:
1. Identify the [namespace](../group/index.md#namespaces) you want to add the new
project to, as you need this information in a future step. To determine if you have
permission to create new projects in a namespace, view the group's page in a
web browser and confirm the page displays a **New project** button.
NOTE:
As project creation permissions can have many factors, contact your
GitLab administrator if you're unsure.
1. If you want to push using SSH, ensure you have [created a SSH key](../../ssh/index.md) and
[added it to your GitLab account](../../ssh/index.md#add-an-ssh-key-to-your-gitlab-account).
1. Push with one of the following methods. Replace `gitlab.example.com` with the
domain name of the machine that hosts your Git repository, `namespace` with the name of
your namespace, and `myproject` with the name of your new project:
- To push with SSH: `git push --set-upstream git@gitlab.example.com:namespace/myproject.git master`
- To push with HTTPS: `git push --set-upstream https://gitlab.example.com/namespace/myproject.git master`
Optional: to export existing repository tags, append the `--tags` flag to your `git push` command.
1. When the push completes, GitLab displays a message:
```plaintext
