+# GitLab basics guides
+
+This section provides resources to help you start with GitLab by focusing on basic functionality.
+
+This documentation is split into the following groups:
+
+- [GitLab-specific functionality](#gitlab-basics), for basic GitLab features.
+- [General Git functionality](#git-basics), for working with Git in conjunction with GitLab.
+
+## GitLab basics
+
+The following are guides to basic GitLab functionality:
+
+- [Create and add your SSH Keys](create-your-ssh-keys.md), for enabling Git over SSH.
+- [Create a project](create-project.md), to start using GitLab.
+- [Create a group](../user/group/index.md#create-a-new-group), to combine and administer projects together.
+- [Create a branch](create-branch.md), to make changes to files stored in a project's repository.
+- [Fork a project](fork-project.md), to duplicate projects so they can be worked on in parallel.
+- [Add a file](add-file.md), to add new files to a project's repository.
+- [Add an image](add-image.md), to add new images to a project's repository.
+- [Create an issue](../user/project/issues/create_new_issue.md), to start collaborating within a project.
+- [Create a merge request](add-merge-request.md), to request changes made in a branch be merged into a project's repository.
+
+## Git basics
+
+If you're unfamiliar with the command line, these resources will help:
+
+- [Command line basics](command-line-commands.md), for those unfamiliar with the command line interface.
+- [Start using Git on the command line](start-using-git.md), for some simple Git commands.
+
+More Git resources are available at GitLab's [Git documentation](../topics/git/index.md).
