  174 +### Changing the name of the Git user / group
  175 +
  176 +By default, omnibus-gitlab uses the user name `git` for Git gitlab-shell login,
  177 +ownership of the Git data itself, and SSH URL generation on the web interface.
  178 +Similarly, `git` group is used for group ownership of the Git data. You can
  179 +change the user and group by adding the following lines to
  180 +`/etc/gitlab/gitlab.rb`.
  181 +
  182 +```ruby
  183 +user['username'] = "gitlab"
  184 +user['group'] = "gitlab"
