+# GitLab Migration Instructions
+
+This document provides instructions for completing the migration of the TasmotaManager project to GitLab at 192.168.5.10.
+
+## Completed Steps
+
+The following steps have already been completed:
+
+1. Git repository initialized in the TasmotaManager directory
+2. `.gitignore` file created to exclude sensitive files:
+   - `network_configuration.json` (contains credentials)
+   - Data files with network information (`current.json`, `deprecated.json`, `TasmotaDevices.json`)
+   - Backup files
+3. `README.md` file created with project documentation
+4. Non-sensitive files added and committed to the local Git repository:
+   - `TasmotaManager.py`
+   - `.gitignore`
+   - `README.md`
+
+## Remaining Steps
+
+To complete the migration to GitLab, follow these steps:
+
+### Option 1: Create a new repository in GitLab
+
+1. Log in to GitLab at http://192.168.5.10
+2. Navigate to the Manager project/group
+3. Create a new project named "TasmotaManager"
+4. Follow the instructions provided by GitLab to push an existing repository:
+
+```bash
+# If using HTTP
+git remote add gitlab http://192.168.5.10/Manager/TasmotaManager.git
+git push -u gitlab inital
+
+# If using SSH
+git remote add gitlab git@192.168.5.10:Manager/TasmotaManager.git
+git push -u gitlab inital
+```
+
+### Option 2: Add as a subproject to the existing Manager project
+
+If TasmotaManager should be a subproject or subdirectory within the Manager project:
+
+1. Clone the Manager project:
+```bash
+git clone http://192.168.5.10/Manager.git
+```
+
+2. Create a TasmotaManager directory within the Manager project:
+```bash
+cd Manager
+mkdir TasmotaManager
+```
+
+3. Copy the files from the local TasmotaManager repository:
+```bash
+cp /home/mgeppert/git_work/scripts/TasmotaManager/TasmotaManager.py TasmotaManager/
+cp /home/mgeppert/git_work/scripts/TasmotaManager/.gitignore TasmotaManager/
+cp /home/mgeppert/git_work/scripts/TasmotaManager/README.md TasmotaManager/
+```
+
+4. Add, commit, and push the changes:
+```bash
+git add TasmotaManager
+git commit -m "Add TasmotaManager as a subproject"
+git push
+```
+
+### Option 3: Add as a Git submodule
+
+If TasmotaManager should be maintained as a separate repository but included in the Manager project:
+
+1. First, create the TasmotaManager repository in GitLab (see Option 1)
+2. Clone the Manager project:
+```bash
+git clone http://192.168.5.10/Manager.git
+```
+
+3. Add the TasmotaManager as a submodule:
+```bash
+cd Manager
+git submodule add http://192.168.5.10/TasmotaManager.git TasmotaManager
+git commit -m "Add TasmotaManager as a submodule"
+git push
+```
+
+## Configuration Files
+
+Remember that sensitive configuration files are excluded from version control. After cloning or setting up the repository, you'll need to:
+
+1. Create a `network_configuration.json` file with your UniFi Controller and MQTT settings
+2. Run the script to generate the data files:
+```bash
+python TasmotaManager.py
+```
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+If you encounter authentication issues when pushing to GitLab:
+
+1. Ensure you have the correct access rights to the repository
+2. Try using a personal access token instead of password authentication:
+```bash
+git remote set-url gitlab http://username:token@192.168.5.10/Manager/TasmotaManager.git
+```
+
+3. If using SSH, ensure your SSH key is added to your GitLab account
