+# How to add a file
+
+You can create a file in your [shell](command-line-commands.md) or in GitLab.
+
+To create a file in GitLab, sign in to GitLab.
+
+Select a project on the right side of your screen:
+
+![Select a project](basicsimages/select_project.png)
+
+It's a good idea to [create a branch](create-branch.md), but it's not necessary.
+
+Go to the directory where you'd like to add the file and click on the "+" sign next to the name of the project and directory:
+
+![Create a file](basicsimages/create_file.png)
+
+Name your file (you can't add spaces, so you can use hyphens or underscores). Don't forget to include the markup language you'd like to use :
+
+![File name](basicsimages/file_name.png)
+
+Add all the information that you'd like to include in your file:
+
+![Add information](basicsimages/white_space.png)
+
+Add a commit message based on what you just added and then click on "commit changes":
+
+![Commit changes](basicsimages/commit_changes.png)
+
+### Note
+Besides its regular files, every directory needs a README.md or README.html file which works like an index, telling
+what the directory is about. It's the first document you'll find when you open a directory.
