We accept half a dozen different authentication mechanisms for Git over HTTP. Fairly high in the list we were checking user password, which would also query LDAP. In the case of LFS, OAuth tokens or personal access tokens, we were unnecessarily hitting LDAP when the authentication will not succeed. This was causing some LDAP/AD systems to lock the account. Now, user password authentication is the last mechanism tried since it's the most expensive. |

Installation
The recommended way to install GitLab is with the Omnibus packages on our package server. Compared to an installation from source, this is faster and less error prone. Just select your operating system, download the respective package (Debian or RPM) and install it using the system's package manager.
There are various other options to install GitLab, please refer to the installation page on the GitLab website for more information.
You can access a new installation with the login root and password 5iveL!fe, after login you are required to set a unique password.
Contributing
GitLab is an open source project and we are very happy to accept community contributions. Please refer to CONTRIBUTING.md for details.
Install a development environment
To work on GitLab itself, we recommend setting up your development environment with the GitLab Development Kit. If you do not use the GitLab Development Kit you need to install and setup all the dependencies yourself, this is a lot of work and error prone. One small thing you also have to do when installing it yourself is to copy the example development unicorn configuration file:
cp config/unicorn.rb.example.development config/unicorn.rb
Instructions on how to start GitLab and how to run the tests can be found in the development section of the GitLab Development Kit.
Software stack
GitLab is a Ruby on Rails application that runs on the following software:
- Ubuntu/Debian/CentOS/RHEL/OpenSUSE
- Ruby (MRI) 2.3
- Git 2.8.4+
- Redis 2.8+
- PostgreSQL (preferred) or MySQL
For more information please see the architecture documentation.
UX design
Please adhere to the UX Guide when creating designs and implementing code.
