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.

Custom password length limits

If you want to enforce longer user passwords you can create an extra Devise initializer with the steps below.

If you do not use the devise_password_length.rb initializer the password length is set to a minimum of 8 characters in config/initializers/devise.rb.

cd /home/git/gitlab
sudo -u git -H cp config/initializers/devise_password_length.rb.example config/initializers/devise_password_length.rb
sudo -u git -H editor config/initializers/devise_password_length.rb   # inspect and edit the new password length limits
