# GitLab directory structure
|
|
|
|
This is the directory structure you will end up with following the instructions in the Installation Guide.
|
|
|
|
|-- home
|
|
| |-- git
|
|
| |-- .ssh
|
|
| |-- gitlab
|
|
| |-- gitlab-shell
|
|
| |-- repositories
|
|
|
|
- `/home/git/.ssh` - contains openssh settings. Specifically the `authorized_keys` file managed by gitlab-shell.
|
|
- `/home/git/gitlab` - GitLab core software.
|
|
- `/home/git/gitlab-shell` - Core add-on component of GitLab. Maintains SSH cloning and other functionality.
|
|
- `/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).**
|
|
|
|
*Note: the default locations for repositories can be configured in `config/gitlab.yml` of GitLab and `config.yml` of gitlab-shell.*
