### 📌 Purpose

Set up, initialize, and push a GitLab repo using only the terminal — no browser required.

### 🪐 Step-by-Step CLI Workflow

#### 1. Install everything you need

```bash
sudo apt update
sudo apt install git curl -y
curl -s https://raw.githubusercontent.com/profclems/glab/trunk/scripts/install.sh | sudo bash

2. Configure your Git identity

git config --global user.name "Your Name"
git config --global user.email "your_email@example.com"

3. Authenticate with GitLab

glab auth login

Use SSH and paste your Personal Access Token (create one at https://gitlab.com/-/profile/personal_access_tokens)

---

4. Initialize your project

mkdir myproject
cd myproject
git init
touch README.md
git add .
git commit -m "Initial commit"

5. Create GitLab repo via CLI

glab repo create myproject --visibility public --confirm

6. Push your changes

git push -u origin master

---

✅ Done. You've created and linked a GitLab repository entirely from the CLI.
