   2. Enter the following details, and then click Save:

      Field	Value
      Name	Student Git Credential
      Organization	Default
      Credential Type	Source Control
      Username	git
      SCM Private Key	(Content of the /home/student/.ssh/gitlab_rsa file.)

      Note

      If you choose to browse for the /home/student/.ssh/gitlab_rsa file, then right-click anywhere in the directory navigation and select Show Hidden Files. With this option enabled you can see the .ssh directory within the /home/student directory.

3. Create a new project called My Webservers DEV.

   1. Navigate to Resources → Projects and then click Add to display the Create New Project page.
