Namespaces

In GitLab, a namespace organizes related projects together. GitLab has two types of namespaces:

  • A personal namespace, which is based on your username. Projects under a personal namespace must be configured one at a time.
  • A group or subgroup namespace. In these namespaces, you can manage multiple projects at once.

To determine whether you're viewing a group or personal namespace, you can view the URL. For example:

Namespace for URL Namespace
A user named alex. https://gitlab.example.com/alex alex
A group named alex-team. https://gitlab.example.com/alex-team alex-team
A group named alex-team with a subgroup named marketing. https://gitlab.example.com/alex-team/marketing alex-team/marketing
