+== Giving other People Access to your Private Repo ==
+In Gitlab, on the main page of your private repository, go to "Project Information" on the left, then "Members", then "Invite members" on the top right. Here you can search for people and select their role. We recommend the role of guest. As guests, they can't modify your repository. Please note that in Gitlab, users first have to be logged in once to be found in the search.

+  - git checkout main
+  - git pull
+  - git branch new_branch_name
+  - git checkout new_branch_name

+  - fetch the private repository: git fetch origin
+  - merge the changes into your current branch with: git merge origin/main
