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-satellites
|       |-- gitlab-shell
|       |-- repositories

/home/git/.ssh

/home/git/gitlab This is where GitLab lives.

/home/git/gitlab-satellites Contains a copy of all repositories with a working tree. It's used for merge requests, editing files, etc.

/home/git/repositories Holds all your repositories in bare format. This is the place Git uses when you pull/push to your projects.

You can change them in your config/gitlab.yml file.
