How to install and configure Gitlab on Windows

In project development, version control is a very important part. In order to facilitate team collaboration and code stability, we need to use a good version control tool. Git is one of the widely used and highly respected version control tools, and Gitlab is a code hosting platform based on Git that can be used to easily manage your own code base and team collaboration. Below we will introduce how to install and configure Gitlab on Windows.

1. Installing Git

First, we need to install Git on Windows. Go to the official website to download the latest Git, and then install it. After the installation is complete, we need to configure some basic information about Git, such as user name and email address, which is very useful for recording contributions when submitting code.

After the installation is completed, open the command line window and enter the following command to configure the user name and email:

$ git config --global user.name "Your Name"
$ git config --global user.email "your_email@example.com"

2. Install Gitlab

Next, we need to download Gitlab installation package. Go to Gitlab's official website to download the latest Gitlab installation package and follow the prompts to install it. During the installation process, we can set the Gitlab installation path, access port, etc.

After the installation is complete, we need to run Gitlab and perform some basic configurations. First, open the browser and enter localhost:port number in the address bar to open the Gitlab login interface. By default, the Gitlab administrator username is root and the password is 5iveL!fe.

3. Gitlab basic configuration

After successfully logging in, we need to perform some basic configuration. First, we need to create a new user and set it as administrator. In the Gitlab interface, click the avatar in the upper right corner, select User and add a new user. Then return to the administrator interface, click Admin Area -> Users, and set the new user as an administrator.

Next, we need to create a new project. In the Gitlab interface, click the New Project button, and then fill in some basic information about the project, such as project name and description, etc. Then, we need to upload the local code base to Gitlab. We only need to enter the following command in the local command window:

$ git remote add origin https://gitlab.example.com/yourname/yourproject.git
$ git push -u origin master

In this way, we will push the local code base to Gitlab. We can see our projects in the Gitlab interface and perform version control, team collaboration, and more.

4. Using Gitlab

In addition to basic configuration, Gitlab has many powerful functions, such as:

• Project management
• Version Control
• Team Collaboration
• Defect Tracking
• Wiki, etc.

In general, Gitlab is a very powerful Version control and code hosting platform. Through the above basic configuration, we have completed the installation and use of Gitlab, which allows us to conduct team collaboration and version control more efficiently.
