'Cloning a git repo in GitLab - specific requirements
I have a git repo that I have worked on for some time. It is cloned on my pc and has a few branches. I want to recreate this repo on GitLab along with all history and branches. I have seen that if the repo is accessible using a url it is easy to clone. But unfortunately mine is not. Any ideas how this can be accomplished. I have tried to upload the local repo folder to Azure storage account to make is publicly accessble but couldnt get the import working. Thanks

If you have the local repository, with local branches (meaning not remote tracking branches in an origin/<branches> list), you can use git push --mirror to push it to a new GitLab project.
cd /path/to/local/repo
git remote add origin https://gitlab.com/<me>/<newRepo>
git push --mirror
