How can I reference an image in GitLab markdown in the current directory with the path starting with ./ dot slash?

Question

I have stored a Markdown file and an image file in a Git repo as follows:

• readme.markdown
• images/
  • image.png<

Answer 1

Similar problem with Gitlab & Images in readme.md

I had the same problem with my Logo inside of a readme.md in my Extension and with Gitlab (running on a Ubuntu-Server).

Ubuntu Version: 16.04.2 LTS

Gitlab Version: 10.3.4 56dc722

My Solution

You can also use a snippet for image-usage in your readme.md by simply following these steps:

In the Overview of Gitlab (Logged in)

1. Go to the project where your want to use that image
2. in the topnavigation on the right click the + button
3. UNDER YOUR PROJECT click new snippet in the dropdown

In the new snippet form

1. Type a title
2. On the bottom right corner of the RTE-Field click Attach a file
3. Select your file and press Open
4. Click the checkbox Public
5. name the snippet (under the Checkboxes) [the field beside the 1 not the "header"]
6. Click Create Snippet

Troubleshooting

If you get the following error you forgot point 5:

The form contains the following error:

Content can't be blank

Now we have a working Imagelink

Now, if you edit the snippet again, you can copy the Image-Code looks like this:

to your readme.md file.

If you like to use a link also, it has to look like that:
