This page contains step-by-step guidance on creating a GitLab account and forking a pipeline, using archivist_insert as an example.

If you don’t have a GitLab account, please register at https://gitlab.com/.
Once you have registered and signed in, go to https://gitlab.com/closer-cohorts1/archivist_insert.
Fork the repository by clicking “Fork” in the right-hand corner of the window (see below).
1. After pressing "Fork", change the Project name to archivist_insert_[your initials].
2. Under Project URL, select the namespace (i.e., your GitLab username).
3. Press "Fork project".

4. You now need credentials for Heroku and Archivist, which you can find here.

a. First, make sure you are in the right part of the GitLab (i.e., in your account). The URL should read: https://gitlab.com/[your GitLab account name]/archivist_insert.

b. To add the variables, go to Settings → CI/CD → Variables → Expand → Add Variable.

c. Make sure "Protect variable" and "Mask variable" are ticked, as above.
