# How to add an image # How to add an image
The following are the steps to add images to your repository in Using your standard tool for copying files (e.g. Finder in Mac OS, or Explorer
GitLab: in Windows, or...), put the image file into the GitLab project. You can find the
project as a regular folder in your files.
Find the image that you’d like to add. Go to your [shell](command-line-commands.md), and move into the folder of your
Gitlab project. This usually means running the following command until you get
to the desired destination:
In your computer files, find the GitLab project to which you'd like to add the image
(you'll find it as a regular file). Click on every file until you find exactly where you'd
like to add the image. There, paste the image.
Go to your [shell](command-line-commands.md), and add the following commands:
Add this command for every directory that you'd like to open:
``` ```
cd NAME-OF-FILE-YOU'D-LIKE-TO-OPEN cd NAME-OF-FOLDER-YOU'D-LIKE-TO-OPEN
``` ```
Create a new branch: Check if your image is actually present in the directory (if you are in Windows,
``` use `dir` instead):
git checkout -b NAME-OF-BRANCH
```
Check if your image was correctly added to the directory:
``` ```
ls ls
``` ```
You should see the name of the image in the list shown. You should see the name of the image in the list shown.
Move up the hierarchy through directories: Check the status:
```
cd ../
```
Check the status and you should see your image’s name in red:
``` ```
git status git status
``` ```
Add your changes: Your image's name should appear in red, so `git` took notice of it! Now add it
to the repository:
``` ```
git add NAME-OF-YOUR-IMAGE git add NAME-OF-YOUR-IMAGE
``` ```
Check the status and you should see your image’s name in green: Check the status again, your image's name should have turned green:
``` ```
git status git status
``` ```
Add the commit: Commit:
``` ```
git commit -m “DESCRIBE COMMIT IN A FEW WORDS” git commit -m "DESCRIBE COMMIT IN A FEW WORDS"
``` ```
Now you can push (send) your changes (in the branch NAME-OF-BRANCH) to GitLab (the git remote named 'origin'): Now you can push (send) your changes (in the branch NAME-OF-BRANCH) to GitLab
(the git remote named 'origin'):
``` ```
git push origin NAME-OF-BRANCH git push origin NAME-OF-BRANCH
``` ```
Your image will be added to your branch in your repository in GitLab. Create a [Merge Request](add-merge-request.md) Your image will be added to your branch in your repository in GitLab.
to integrate your changes to your project.
