Can you create a project on GitLab using ssh?

514 views Asked by At

I have an account with gitlab.com. I am trying to automate some of the steps of setting up a new dev server. Is it possible to connect to my account at gitlab.com via ssh and then create a new project? If so, how? If no, why not?

Currently I get this error when trying to access via ssh:

PTY allocation request failed on channel 0 Welcome to GitLab, User Name! Connection to gitlab.com closed.

If you'd like to create a project on a Gitlab server for automation purposes, I would recommend using their REST API which allows you to perform various actions on the Gitlab platform.

Among them, it is possible to create a project owned by the authenticated user, or to create a project owned by a given user.
