Would would need to use the GitLab API to create a project

POST /projects

One of the optional parameters is:

visibility_level (optional):

• 0 is Private (Project access must be granted explicitly for each user)
• 10 is Internal (The project can be cloned by any logged in user),
• 20 is Public (The project can be cloned without any authentication)

Using a private token (and jq):

curl --header "PRIVATE-TOKEN: QVy1PB7sTxfy4pqfZM1U" \
-H "Accept: application/json" \
-H "Content-type: application/json" \
-X POST 
--data-urlencode 'name=myproject' \
--data-urlencode 'visibility_level=0' \
"http://example.com/api/v3/projects"
