  187 +### Changing gitlab.yml settings
  188 +
  189 +This is an advanced topic. If you are already familiar with configuring GitLab
  190 +and you want to change a `gitlab.yml` setting, you need to do so via
  191 +`/etc/gitlab/gitlab.rb`. The translation works as follows.
  192 +
  193 +In `gitlab.yml`, you will find structure like this:
  194 +
  195 +```yaml
  196 +production: &base
  197 + gitlab:
  198 + default_projects_limit: 10
  199 +```
  200 +
  201 +In `gitlab.rb`, this translates to:
  202 +
  203 +```ruby
  204 +gitlab_rails['gitlab_default_projects_limit'] = 10
  205 +```
  206 +
  207 +What happens here is that we forget about `production: &base`, and join
  208 +`gitlab:` with `default_projects_limit:` into `gitlab_default_projects_limit`.
  209 +Note that not all `gitlab.yml` settings can be changed via `gitlab.rb` yet; see
  210 +the [gitlab.yml ERB template][gitlab.yml.erb]. If you think an attribute is
  211 +missing please create a merge request or an issue on the omnibus-gitlab issue
  212 +tracker.
  213 +
  214 +Run `sudo gitlab-ctl reconfigure` for changes in `gitlab.rb` to take effect.
