If you do have write -access or can request it, we recommend working together in the same -repository since it is simpler. See our [GitLab Flow](gitlab_flow.md) -document more information about using branches to work together. - -## Creating a fork - -Forking a project is in most cases a two-step process. - -1. Click on the fork button located located in between the star and clone buttons on the project's home page. - - ![Fork button](img/forking_workflow_fork_button.png) - -1. Once you do that, you'll be presented with a screen where you can choose - the namespace to fork to. Only namespaces (groups and your own - namespace) where you have write access to, will be shown. Click on the - namespace to create your fork there. - - ![Choose namespace](img/forking_workflow_choose_namespace.png) - - **Note:** - If the namespace you chose to fork the project to has another project with - the same path name, you will be presented with a warning that the forking - could not be completed. Try to resolve the error before repeating the forking - process. - - ![Path taken error](img/forking_workflow_path_taken_error.png) - -After the forking is done, you can start working on the newly created -repository. There, you will have full [Owner](../user/permissions.md) -access, so you can set it up as you please. - -## Merging upstream - -Once you are ready to send your code back to the main project, you need -to create a merge request. Choose your forked project's main branch as -the source and the original project's main branch as the destination and -create the [merge request](merge_requests.md). - -![Selecting branches](forking/branch_select.png) - -You can then assign the merge request to someone to have them review -your changes. Upon pressing the 'Submit Merge Request' button, your -changes will be added to the repository and branch you're merging into. - -![New merge request](forking/merge_request.png) - -[gitlab flow]: https://about.gitlab.com/blog/2014/09/29/gitlab-flow/ "GitLab Flow blog post" +This document was moved to [another location](../user/project/repository/forking_workflow.md). |
