## Working with subgroups and nested repositories

If your repository is located within nested GitLab groups or subgroups (for example, `https://gitlab.com/org/subgroup1/subgroup2/my-repo`), GitLab's API requires you to URL-encode the namespace path.

To configure the node for nested subgroups:

1. **Repository Owner**: Enter the full subgroup hierarchy up to the repository, replacing all forward slashes (`/`) with `%2F`. Example: `org%2Fsubgroup1%2Fsubgroup2`
2. **Repository Name**: Enter the project's repository slug. Example: `my-repo`
