How to add a private remote git repository in PhpStorm?

Question

This might seem like a stupid question but I can't find the information in the PhpStorm docs.

• I have created a private, empty git repository on GitLab.
• I created a local project with composer to install a framework.

Now I want to connect this local project with the private repository on GitLab.

But every time I try to add the remote I can't find an option to add any credentials of sorts so naturally it fails telling me it can't find the remote or it got rejected.

I know there are other ways to do this but I've done a setup like this before a long time ago.

Here is what you'd normally do

git remote add gitlab url-to-gitlab-repo
git push gitlab master
