Hi all,

I want to create a group in gitlab, and within that group create a project. Any suggestions?

I can run the gitlab\_group module, and it does create, what appears to be a subgroup but not a project within that group I had created.

There is a git lab project module. Use that and refer to the gitlab group in it
