GitLab basics overhaul: create a project

From @rdickenson's video teardown (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e9lCeFQpDZs) of https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/gitlab-basics/create-project.html, improve the documentation using the following notes:

  • Documentation doesn't explain what a project is, or why I want one.
  • Note at the top comes a bit early.
  • The four options given don't tell you why you'd choose one or the other.
  • Title of sub sections should be perhaps be made verbs. For example, Creating blank projects.
  • Some fields in Black projects section aren't mentioned.
  • Project templates lists two types without saying why you'd pick one of the other.
  • Custom project templates doesn't explicitly state what each of the types are (though it's heavily implied).
  • Could move the info about creating your own Custom project templates., because they aren't about using the templates to create a project.
  • Push to create a new project section comes out of the blue, it's not in the initial list of ways of creating a project.
  • Instructions in Push to create a new project could be improved to:
    • Show what parts of commands need to be replaced.
    • If any other configuration is required in the UI.

Suggestion:

  • Incorporate feedback above.
  • Make sure all sub sections are introduced at top.

@rdickenson would you add anything?
