Help

Reminder to all repository users: Please do not add , commit and push any data files to your remote git repositories. The disk space the Git server is limited, it wasn't dimensioned to host anything else than code. Solely your code files need versioning. The data inputs/outputs don't. A good idea is to do "git add" individually on each file you want to commit, to avoid versioning unwanted content.

Cleanup

Remove garbage from filesystem. Important! Data loss!

Remove namespaces(dirs) from all repository storage paths if they don't exist in GitLab database.

# omnibus-gitlab
sudo gitlab-rake gitlab:cleanup:dirs

# installation from source
bundle exec rake gitlab:cleanup:dirs RAILS_ENV=production

Rename repositories from all repository storage paths if they don't exist in GitLab database. The repositories get a +orphaned+TIMESTAMP suffix so that they cannot block new repositories from being created.

# omnibus-gitlab
sudo gitlab-rake gitlab:cleanup:repos

# installation from source
bundle exec rake gitlab:cleanup:repos RAILS_ENV=production
