5. Add your credentials in the displayed window:
   * Name of the token. This is only for Brainboard, it will not be used when you do a pull request.
   * The URL of your GitLab server: by default Brainboard uses `https://gitlab.com`, but if you have a private Gitlab instance accessible through the internet or if you use a single-tenant Brainboard offering, you can specify a different URL.
6. Then click on `Save and close` button.
7. Brainboard will verify if the credentials are valid:
   1. If they are valid, Brainboard displays a success message and you can see the integration now in the Git connection page<br>
