# Migration to Versioned Snippets **(CORE ONLY)**
|
|
|
|
> [Introduced](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/215861) in GitLab 13.0.
|
|
|
|
In GitLab 13.0, [GitLab Snippets are backed by Git repositories](../user/snippets.md#versioned-snippets).
|
|
This means that the snippet content will be stored in the repository
|
|
and users can update it directly through Git.
|
|
|
|
Nevertheless, existing GitLab Snippets have to be migrated to this new functionality.
|
|
For each snippet, a new repository is created and the snippet content is committed
|
|
to the repository inside a file whose name is the file name used in the snippet
|
|
as well.
|
|
|
|
GitLab performs this migration through a [Background Migration](../development/background_migrations.md)
|
|
automatically when the GitLab instance is upgrade to 13.0 or a higher version.
|
|
However, if the migration fails for any of the snippets, they still need
|
|
to be migrated individually.
|
|
|
|
The following Rake tasks will help with that process.
|
|
|
|
## Migrate specific snippets to Git
|
|
|
|
In case you want to migrate a range of snippets, run the tasks as described below.
|
|
|
|
For Omnibus installations, run:
|
|
|
|
```shell
|
|
sudo gitlab-rake gitlab:snippets:migrate SNIPPET_IDS=1,2,3,4
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
For installations from source code, run:
|
|
|
|
```shell
|
|
bundle exec rake gitlab:snippets:migrate SNIPPET_IDS=1,2,3,4
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
There is a default limit (100) to the number of ids supported in the migration
|
|
process. You can modify this limit by using the environment variable `LIMIT`.
|
|
|
|
```shell
|
|
sudo gitlab-rake gitlab:snippets:migrate SNIPPET_IDS=1,2,3,4 LIMIT=50
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
For installations from source code, run:
|
|
|
|
```shell
|
|
bundle exec rake gitlab:snippets:migrate SNIPPET_IDS=1,2,3,4 LIMIT=50
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Show whether the snippet background migration is running
|
|
|
|
In case you want to check the status of the snippet background migration,
|
|
whether it is running or not, you can use the following task.
|
|
|
|
For Omnibus installations, run:
|
|
|
|
```shell
|
|
sudo gitlab-rake gitlab:snippets:migration_status
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
For installations from source code, run:
|
|
|
|
```shell
|
|
bundle exec rake gitlab:snippets:migration_status RAILS_ENV=production
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## List non-migrated snippets
|
|
|
|
With the following task, you can get the ids of all of the snippets
|
|
that haven't been migrated yet or failed to migrate.
|
|
|
|
For Omnibus installations, run:
|
|
|
|
```shell
|
|
sudo gitlab-rake gitlab:snippets:list_non_migrated
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
For installations from source code, run:
|
|
|
|
```shell
|
|
bundle exec rake gitlab:snippets:list_non_migrated RAILS_ENV=production
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
As the number of non-migrated snippets can be large, we limit
|
|
by default the size of the number of ids returned to 100. You can
|
|
modify this limit by using the environment variable `LIMIT`.
|
|
|
|
```shell
|
|
sudo gitlab-rake gitlab:snippets:list_non_migrated LIMIT=200
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
For installations from source code, run:
|
|
|
|
```shell
|
|
bundle exec rake gitlab:snippets:list_non_migrated RAILS_ENV=production LIMIT=200
|
|
```
