In GitLab you can create new files and edit existing files using our web editor.
This is especially useful if you don't have access to a command line or you just want to do a quick fix.
You can easily access the web editor, depending on the context.
Let's start from newly created project.

Click on `Add a file`
to create the first file and open it in the web editor.
