Gitlab integration with Jenkins

Question

I have a paid GitLab account where i store my software-project. I have installed Jenkins on my home PC. I have a Jenkins-project configured to build my software-project.

I don't know how to configure Jenkin's and my GitLab account so that Jenkins can get the latest source of my software-project from my GitLab account.

Any help will be appreciated.

Note: I know what to do once the source code is downloaded from GitLab

You can use the Gitlab Jenkins plugin to configure Gitlab in your Jenkins Gitlab Jenkins plugin

otherwise you can create a jenkins Global Credential user name : gitlab-ci-token password : the token of your account you find it in the gitlab :

Profile Settings > Account > private token
