how to setup gitlab to create repositories

Heya,

From what you have provided there could be a couple of issues.

1. Incorrect base_url - The base_url you provided looks a bit strange. Usually, for GitLab, it’s https://gitlab.com/api/v4/. You have “errooorr” in the middle of your URL which is incorrect.

2. Spacing and Indentation - Consistent spacing and indentation are crucial for Terraform to interpret the configuration correctly.

Here’s a cleaner version of your create.tf:

terraform {
  required_providers {
    gitlab = {
      source = "gitlabhq/gitlab"
    }
  }
}

variable "gitlab_token" {
  description = "Token for accessing GitLab API"
  type        = string
  default     = ""  # Empty default, it's best to provide this via tfvars or environment variables
}

variable "base_url" {
  description = "Base URL for GitLab API"
  type        = string
  default     = "https://gitlab.com/api/v4/"
}

provider "gitlab" {
  token    = var.gitlab_token
  base_url = var.base_url
}
