Reminder to all repository users: Please do not add , commit and push any data files to your remote git repositories. The disk space the Git server is limited, it wasn't dimensioned to host anything else than code. Solely your code files need versioning. The data inputs/outputs don't. A good idea is to do "git add" individually on each file you want to commit, to avoid versioning unwanted content.

How to add an image

Using your standard tool for copying files (e.g. Finder in Mac OS, or Explorer in Windows, or...), put the image file into the GitLab project. You can find the project as a regular folder in your files.

Go to your shell, and move into the folder of your Gitlab project. This usually means running the following command until you get to the desired destination:

cd NAME-OF-FOLDER-YOU'D-LIKE-TO-OPEN

Check if your image is actually present in the directory (if you are in Windows, use dir instead):

ls

You should see the name of the image in the list shown.

Check the status:

git status

Your image's name should appear in red, so git took notice of it! Now add it to the repository:

git add NAME-OF-YOUR-IMAGE

Check the status again, your image's name should have turned green:

git status

Commit:

git commit -m "DESCRIBE COMMIT IN A FEW WORDS"

Now you can push (send) your changes (in the branch NAME-OF-BRANCH) to GitLab (the git remote named 'origin'):

git push origin NAME-OF-BRANCH

Your image will be added to your branch in your repository in GitLab.
