+
+## Customization
+
+It is possible to customize widget by providing a table with all or some of the following config parameters:
+
+| Name | Default | Description |
+|---|---|---|
+| `icon` | `./icons/gitlab-icon.svg` | Path to the icon |
+| `host` | Required | e.g _https://gitlab.yourcomapny.com_ |
+| `access_token` | Required | e.g _h2v531iYASDz6McxYk4A_ |
+| `timeout` | 60 | How often in seconds the widget should be refreshed |
+
+_Note:_
+ - to get the access token, go to **User Settings** -> **Access Tokens** and generate a token with **api** scope
+
+## Installation
+
+Clone/download repo and use widget in **rc.lua**:
+
+```lua
+local gitlab_widget = require("awesome-wm-widgets.gitlab-widget.gitlab")
+...
+s.mytasklist, -- Middle widget
+	{ -- Right widgets
+    	layout = wibox.layout.fixed.horizontal,
+		...
+		-- default
+        gitlab_widget{
+            host = 'https://gitlab.yourcompany.com',
