+# Import multiple repositories by uploading a manifest file
+
+GitLab allows you to import all the required git repositories based on the
+Android repository manifest file.
+
+You can do it by following next steps:
+
+1. From your GitLab dashboard click **New project**
+1. Switch to the **Import project** tab
+1. Click on the **Manifest file** button
+1. Provide GitLab with a manifest xml file
+1. Select a group you want to import to (you need to create a group first if you don't have one)
+1. Click **Import projects**
+1. You will be redirected to the import status page with projects list based on manifest file
+1. Check the list and click 'Import all repositories' to start import.

+
+### Manifest format
+
+A manifest must be an XML file. There must be one `remote` tag with `review` attribute
+that contains a URL to a git server. Each `project` tag must have `name` and `path` attribute.
+GitLab will build URL to the repository by combining URL from `remote` tag with a project name.
+A path attribute will be used to represent project path in GitLab system.
+
+Below is a valid example of manifest file.
+
+```xml
+<manifest>
+ <remote review="https://android-review.googlesource.com/" />
+
+ <project path="build/make" name="platform/build" />
+ <project path="build/blueprint" name="platform/build/blueprint" />
+</manifest>
+```
+
+As result next projects will be created:
+
+| GitLab | Import URL |
+|---|---|
+| https://gitlab/YOUR_GROUP/build/make | https://android-review.googlesource.com/platform/build |
+| https://gitlab/YOUR_GROUP/build/blueprint | https://android-review.googlesource.com/platform/build/blueprint |
