Dear Lars,

if the repository belongs to you (i.e., is USERNAME is your nickname),
then you should:

  git clone GITURL
 
then make your changes, commit, and push (this should be covered by
the tutorials you have read).

If the repository belongs to someone else, then the best way is to
"fork" the repo from the gitlab interface (there is a "fork" button
jst under the project name in the gitlab page). This will create a
"copy" of the repo under your account. From there, you do the clone,
changes, commit, and push as usual. Then, in order to ask the owner of
the original repo to include your changes, you should open a Pull
Request. That will generate a diff and notify the owner of the repo,
who should check it and "merge" it in the repo.
