# Import bare repositories into your GitLab instance
|
|
|
|
## Notes
|
|
|
|
- The owner of the project will be the first admin
|
|
- The groups will be created as needed, including subgroups
|
|
- The owner of the group will be the first admin
|
|
- Existing projects will be skipped
|
|
- The existing Git repos will be moved from disk (removed from the original path)
|
|
|
|
## How to use
|
|
|
|
### Create a new folder to import your Git repositories from.
|
|
|
|
The new folder needs to have git user ownership and read/write/execute access for git user and its group:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
sudo -u git mkdir /var/opt/gitlab/git-data/repository-import-<date>/new_group
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Copy your bare repositories inside this newly created folder:
|
|
|
|
- Any .git repositories found on any of the subfolders will be imported as projects
|
|
- Groups will be created as needed, these could be nested folders. Example:
|
|
|
|
If we copy the repos to `/var/opt/gitlab/git-data/repository-import-<date>`, and repo A needs to be under the groups G1 and G2, it will
|
|
have to be created under those folders: `/var/opt/gitlab/git-data/repository-import-<date>/G1/G2/A.git`.
|
|
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
sudo cp -r /old/git/foo.git /var/opt/gitlab/git-data/repository-import-<date>/new_group/
|
|
|
|
# Do this once when you are done copying git repositories
|
|
sudo chown -R git:git /var/opt/gitlab/git-data/repository-import-<date>
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
`foo.git` needs to be owned by the git user and git users group.
|
|
|
|
If you are using an installation from source, replace `/var/opt/gitlab/` with `/home/git`.
|
|
|
|
### Run the command below depending on your type of installation:
|
|
|
|
#### Omnibus Installation
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
$ sudo gitlab-rake gitlab:import:repos['/var/opt/gitlab/git-data/repository-import-<date>']
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
#### Installation from source
|
|
|
|
Before running this command you need to change the directory to where your GitLab installation is located:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
$ cd /home/git/gitlab
|
|
$ sudo -u git -H bundle exec rake gitlab:import:repos['/var/opt/gitlab/git-data/repository-import-<date>'] RAILS_ENV=production
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
#### Example output
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
