* `/home/git/.ssh` - contains openssh settings. Specifically the `authorized_keys` file managed by gitlab-shell.
* `/home/git/gitlab` - GitLab core software.
* `/home/git/gitlab-satellites` - checked out repositories for merge requests and file editing from web UI. This can be treated as a temporary files directory.
2014-09-01 22:33:13 -04:00
* `/home/git/gitlab-shell` - Core add-on component of GitLab. Maintains SSH cloning and other functionality.
2014-01-29 09:17:36 -05:00
* `/home/git/repositories` - bare repositories for all projects organized by namespace. This is where the git repositories which are pushed/pulled are maintained for all projects. **This area is critical data for projects. [Keep a backup](../raketasks/backup_restore.md)**
