Import an existing git project into GitLab?

Question

I have an account of a Gitlab installation where I created the repository \"ffki-startseite\"

Now I want to clone the repository git://freifunk.in-kiel.de/ffki

You create an empty project in gitlab then on your local terminal follow one of these:

Push an existing folder

cd existing_folder
git init
git remote add origin git@gitlab.com:GITLABUSERNAME/YOURGITPROJECTNAME.git
git add .
git commit -m "Initial commit"
git push -u origin master

Push an existing Git repository

cd existing_repo
git remote rename origin old-origin
git remote add origin git@gitlab.com:GITLABUSERNAME/YOURGITPROJECTNAME.git
git push -u origin --all
git push -u origin --tags
