The basic steps when working with a Git repo are:
- Clone the repository to your local machine
- Make changes (or in your case add files) to the local repo
- Commit the changes
- Push the changes to GitLab
You might find one of the getting started tutorials helpful to follow: https://docs.gitlab.com/tutorials/make_first_git_commit/

ok, i've done it and now it's connected to my gitlab as a whole, but it wouldn't accept a specific URL or SSH thingy, so how do I ensure that it's connected to a specific file? or do I do that when making commits?

Sorry, I'm not sure what you mean by it not "accepting" a specific URL
If something isn't working, you'll need to be clear about what commands you ran, and what errors you got back

I think I fixed it, don’t know what I did, but it’s working now…I hope

OK, good.
I'd definitely recommend taking some time to do some tutorials on Git basics - you'll find it all very powerful once you learn how to get to grips with it I'm sure.
