+# Projects
+
+In GitLab, you can create projects for hosting
+your codebase, use it as an issue tracker, collaborate on code, and continuously
+build, test, and deploy your app with built-in GitLab CI/CD.
+
+Your projects can be [available](../../public_access/public_access.md)
+publicly, internally, or privately, at your choice. GitLab does not limit
+the number of private projects you create.
+
+## Project's features
+
+When you create a project in GitLab, you'll have access to a large number of
+[features](https://about.gitlab.com/features/):
+
+**Issues and merge requests:**
+
+- [Issue tracker](issues/index.md): Discuss implementations with your team within issues
+  - [Issue Boards](issue_board.md): Organize and prioritize your workflow
+  - [Multiple Issue Boards](https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/user/project/issue_board.html#multiple-issue-boards) (**EES/EEP**): Allow your teams to create their own workflows (Issue Boards) for the same project
+- [Repositories](repository/index.md): Host your code in a fully
+integrated platform
+  - [Protected branches](protected_branches.md): Prevent collaborators
+  from messing with history or pushing code without review
+  - [Protected tags](protected_tags.md): Control over who has
+  permission to create tags, and prevent accidental update or deletion
+- [Merge Requests](merge_requests/index.md): Apply your branching
+strategy and get reviewed by your team
+  - [Merge Request Approvals](https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/user/project/merge_requests/merge_request_approvals.html) (**EES/EEP**): Ask for approval before
+  implementing a change
+  - [Fix merge conflicts from the UI](merge_requests/resolve_conflicts.md):
+  Your Git diff tool right from GitLab's UI
+  - [Review Apps](../../ci/review_apps/index.md): Live preview the results
+  of the changes proposed in a merge request in a per-branch basis
+- [Labels](labels.md): Organize issues and merge requests by labels
+- [Time Tracking](../../workflow/time_tracking.md): Track estimate time
+and time spent on
+  the conclusion of an issue or merge request
+- [Milestones](milestones/index.md): Work towards a target date
+- [Description templates](description_templates.md): Define context-specific
+templates for issue and merge request description fields for your project
+- [Slash commands (quick actions)](quick_actions.md): Textual shortcuts for
+common actions on issues or merge requests
+
+**GitLab CI/CD:**
+
+- [GitLab CI/CD](../../ci/README.md): GitLab's built-in [Continuous Integration, Delivery, and Deployment](https://about.gitlab.com/2016/08/05/continuous-integration-delivery-and-deployment-with-gitlab/) tool
+  - [Container Registry](container_registry.md): Build and push Docker

+     entire pipeline from the UI
+     - [Job artifacts](pipelines/job_artifacts.md): Define,
+     browse, and download job artifacts
+     - [Pipeline settings](pipelines/settings.md): Set up Git strategy (choose the default way your repository is fetched from GitLab in a job),
+     timeout (defines the maximum amount of time in minutes that a job is able run), custom path for `.gitlab-ci.yml`, test coverage parsing, pipeline's visibility, and much more
+- [GitLab Pages](pages/index.md): Build, test, and deploy your static
+website with GitLab Pages
+
+**Other features:**
+
+- [Cycle Analytics](cycle_analytics.md): Review your development lifecycle
+- [Koding integration](koding.md) (not available on GitLab.com): Integrate
+with Koding to have access to a web terminal right from the GitLab UI

+
+### Project's integrations
+
+[Integrate your project](integrations/index.md) with Jira, Mattermost,
+Kubernetes, Slack, and a lot more.
+
+## New project
+
+Learn how to [create a new project](../../gitlab-basics/create-project.md) in GitLab.
+
+### Fork a project
+
+You can [fork a project](../../gitlab-basics/fork-project.md) in order to:
+
+- Collaborate on code by forking a project and creating a merge request
+from your fork to the upstream project
+- Fork a sample project to work on the top of that
+
+## Import or export a project
+
+- Import a project from:
+  - [GitHub to GitLab](../../workflow/importing/import_projects_from_github.md)
+  - [BitBucket to GitLab](../../workflow/importing/import_projects_from_bitbucket.md)
+  - [Gitea to GitLab](../../workflow/importing/import_projects_from_gitea.md)
+  - [FogBugz to GitLab](../../workflow/importing/import_projects_from_fogbugz.md)
+- [Export a project from GitLab](settings/import_export.md#exporting-a-project-and-its-data)
+- [Importing and exporting projects between GitLab instances](settings/import_export.md)
+
+## Leave a project
+
+**Leave project** will only display on the project's dashboard
+when a project is part of a group (under a
+[group namespace](../group/index.md#namespaces)).
+If you choose to leave a project you will no longer be a project
+member, therefore, unable to contribute.
