Visual Studio Code - Adding GitLab repository

Sun, 04 Oct 2020 00:00:00 +1300

How do you setup a GitLab repo on Microsoft Visual Code?

There are two main scenarios -

You have the code on your workstation and you want to push into a clean / new repository
You want to pull code from an existing gitlab repository onto your workstation

First go to your local folder on your workstation (either empty or full of code)

git init 
git add .
git remote add origin https://<username>:<usertoken>@gitlaburl.com/project/repo.git

The above commands tell git to run initial setup, add current folder as content then add associated remote gitlab repository.
