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.

Images attached to issues, merge requests or comments do not require authentication to be viewed if someone knows the direct URL. This direct URL contains a random 32-character ID that prevents unauthorized people from guessing the URL to an image containing sensitive information. We don't enable authentication because these images need to be visible in the body of notification emails, which are often read from email clients that are not authenticated with GitLab, like Outlook, Apple Mail, or the Mail app on your mobile device.

Note that non-image attachments do require authentication to be viewed.
