Reserved project and group names (FREE ALL)

Not all project & group names are allowed because they would conflict with existing routes used by GitLab.

For a list of words that are not allowed to be used as group or project names, see the path_regex.rb file under the TOP_LEVEL_ROUTES, PROJECT_WILDCARD_ROUTES and GROUP_ROUTES lists:

  • TOP_LEVEL_ROUTES: are names that are reserved as usernames or top level groups
  • PROJECT_WILDCARD_ROUTES: are names that are reserved for child groups or projects.
  • GROUP_ROUTES: are names that are reserved for all groups or projects.

  • Project or group names can only contain letters, digits, emoji, "_", ".", "+", dashes, or spaces.
