There is no "Push an existing folder" on the project home page anymore (it's either a bug or it was removed and the documentation is outdated and should be updated. My vote would go toward bringing back this feature it was pretty convenient for new users).
See The Section Add a remote (portion in bold is the problematic section):
https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/gitlab-basics/start-using-git.html#add-a-remote
Here the current text:
To add a remote to your local copy:
In GitLab, create a project to hold your files. Visit this project’s homepage, scroll down to Push an existing folder, and copy the command that starts with git remote add.
On your computer, open the terminal in the directory you’ve initialized, paste the command you copied, and press enter:
git remote add origin git@gitlab.com:username/projectpath.git
The portion is bold doesn't seem to exist anymore. I've create multiple projects lately and after the creation process the homepage display the default readme
