Description

@jankeromnes

When adding a new Project, you need to select a repository, and first you need to select which Git provider you'd like to view repositories from.

Current UX

There is an option at the bottom of the repository-owner dropdown to switch to a different Git provider.

Also, PR #5474 added a more visible change link next to gitlab.com.

Suggested improvements

#5474 (comment)

suggestion: I think using just the verb change could go unoticed and confuse some users. Following the discussion in #5120 (comment) and the second iteration of the designs for repository selection in #4948, we could use a more verbose message here or below the repositories list. What do you think?
