+# Conversational Development Index
+
+> [Introduced][ce-30469] in GitLab 9.3.
+
+Conversational Development Index (ConvDev) gives you an overview of your entire
+instance's feature usage, from idea to production. It looks at your usage in the
+past 30 days, averaged over the number of active users in that time period. It also
+provides a lead score per feature, which is calculated based on GitLab's analysis
+of top performing instances, based on [usage ping data][ping] that GitLab has
+collected. Your score is compared to the lead score, expressed as a percentage.
+The overall index score is an average over all your feature scores.
+
+![ConvDev index](img/convdev_index.png)
+
+The page also provides helpful links to articles and GitLab docs, to help you
+improve your scores.
+
+Your GitLab instance's usage ping must be activated in order to use this feature.
+Usage ping data is aggregated on GitLab's servers for analysis. Your usage
+information is **not sent** to any other GitLab instances.
+
+If you have just started using GitLab, it may take a few weeks for data to be
+collected before this feature is available.
+
+This feature is accessible only to a system admin, at
+**Admin area > Monitoring > ConvDev Index**.

## Status
On failure, the endpoint will return a `500` HTTP status code. On success, the endpoint
will return a valid successful HTTP status code, and a `success` message.
-## Old behavior
-
->**Notes:**
- - Liveness and readiness probes were [introduced][ce-10416] in GitLab 9.1.
- - The `health_check` endpoint was [introduced][ce-3888] in GitLab 8.8 and will
- be deprecated in GitLab 9.1. Read more in the [old behavior](#old-behavior)
- section.
-
-GitLab provides a health check endpoint for uptime monitoring on the `health_check` web
-endpoint. The health check reports on the overall system status based on the status of
-the database connection, the state of the database migrations, and the ability to write
-and access the cache. This endpoint can be provided to uptime monitoring services like
-[Pingdom][pingdom], [Nagios][nagios-health], and [NewRelic][newrelic-health].
+## Access token (Deprecated)
-Once you have the [access token](#access-token), health information can be
-retrieved as plain text, JSON, or XML using the `health_check` endpoint:
+>**Note:**
+Access token has been deprecated in GitLab 9.4
+in favor of [IP whitelist](#ip-whitelist)
-- `https://gitlab.example.com/health_check?token=ACCESS_TOKEN`
-- `https://gitlab.example.com/health_check.json?token=ACCESS_TOKEN`
-- `https://gitlab.example.com/health_check.xml?token=ACCESS_TOKEN`
-
-You can also ask for the status of specific services:
-
-- `https://gitlab.example.com/health_check/cache.json?token=ACCESS_TOKEN`
-- `https://gitlab.example.com/health_check/database.json?token=ACCESS_TOKEN`
-- `https://gitlab.example.com/health_check/migrations.json?token=ACCESS_TOKEN`
-
-For example, the JSON output of the following health check:
+An access token needs to be provided while accessing the probe endpoints. The current
+accepted token can be found under the **Admin area ➔ Monitoring ➔ Health check**
+(`admin/health_check`) page of your GitLab instance.
-```bash
-curl --header "TOKEN: ACCESS_TOKEN" https://gitlab.example.com/health_check.json
-```
+![access token](img/health_check_token.png)
-would be like:
+The access token can be passed as a URL parameter:
```
-{"healthy":true,"message":"success"}
+https://gitlab.example.com/-/readiness?token=ACCESS_TOKEN
```
-On failure, the endpoint will return a `500` HTTP status code. On success, the endpoint
-will return a valid successful HTTP status code, and a `success` message. Ideally your
-uptime monitoring should look for the success message.

+# Groups
+
+With GitLab Groups you can assemble related projects together
+and grant members access to several projects at once.
+
+Groups can also be nested in [subgroups](subgroups/index.md).
+
+Find your groups by expanding the left menu and clicking **Groups**:
+
+![GitLab Groups](img/groups.png)
+
+The Groups page displays all groups you are a member of, how many projects it holds,
+how many members it has, the group visibility, and, if you have enough permissions,
+a link to the group settings. By clicking the last button you can leave that group.
+
+## Use cases
+
+You can create groups for numerous reasons. To name a few:
+
+- Organize related projects under the same [namespace](#namespaces), add members to that
+group and grant access to all their projects at once
+- Create a group, include members of your team, and make it easier to
+`@mention` all the team at once in issues and merge requests
+ - Create a group for your company members, and create [subgroups](subgroups/index.md)
+ for each individual team. Let's say you create a group called `company-team`, and among others,
+ you created subgroups in this group for each individual team `backend-team`,
+ `frontend-team`, and `production-team`:
+ 1. When you start a new implementation from an issue, you add a comment:
+ _"`@company-team`, let's do it! `@company-team/backend-team` you're good to go!"_
+ 1. When your backend team needs help from frontend, they add a comment:
+ _"`@company-team/frontend-team` could you help us here please?"_
+ 1. When the frontend team completes their implementation, they comment:
+ _"`@company-team/backend-team`, it's done! Let's ship it `@company-team/production-team`!"_
+
+## Namespaces
+
+In GitLab, a namespace is a unique name to be used as a user name, a group name, or a subgroup name.
+
+- `http://gitlab.example.com/username`
+- `http://gitlab.example.com/groupname`
+- `http://gitlab.example.com/groupname/subgroup_name`
+
+For example, consider a user called John:
+
+1. John creates his account on GitLab.com with the username `john`;
+his profile will be accessed under `https://gitlab.example.com/john`
+1. John creates a group for his team with the groupname `john-team`;
+his group and its projects will be accessed under `https://gitlab.example.com/john-team`
+1. John creates a subgroup of `john-team` with the subgroup name `marketing`;
+his subgroup and its projects will be accessed under `https://gitlab.example.com/john-team/marketing`
+
+By doing so:
+
+- Any team member mentions John with `@john`
+- John mentions everyone from his team with `@john-team`
+- John mentions only his marketing team with `@john-team/marketing`
+
+## Create a new group
+
+You can create a group in GitLab from:
+
+1. The Groups page: expand the left menu, click **Groups**, and click the green button **New group**:
+
+ ![new group from groups page](img/new_group_from_groups.png)
+
+1. Elsewhere: expand the `plus` sign button on the top navbar and choose **New group**:
+
+ ![new group from elsewhere](img/new_group_from_other_pages.png)
+
+Add the following information:
+
+![new group info](img/create_new_group_info.png)
+
+1. Set the **Group path** which will be the **namespace** under which your projects
+ will be hosted (path can contain only letters, digits, underscores, dashes
+ and dots; it cannot start with dashes or end in dot).
+1. The **Group name** will populate with the path. Optionally, you can change
+ it. This is the name that will display in the group views.
+1. Optionally, you can add a description so that others can briefly understand
+ what this group is about.
+1. Optionally, choose an avatar for your project.
+1. Choose the [visibility level](../../public_access/public_access.md).
+
+## Add users to a group
+
+Add members to a group by navigating to the group's dashboard, and clicking **Members**:
+
+![add members to group](img/add_new_members.png)
+
+Select the [permission level][permissions] and add the new member. You can also set the expiring
+date for that user, from which they will no longer have access to your group.
+
+One of the benefits of putting multiple projects in one group is that you can
+give a user to access to all projects in the group with one action.
+
+Consider we have a group with two projects:
+
+- On the **Group Members** page we can now add a new user to the group.
+- Now because this user is a **Developer** member of the group, he automatically
+gets **Developer** access to **all projects** within that group.
+
+If necessary, you can increase the access level of an individual user for a specific project,
+by adding them again as a new member to the project with the new permission levels.
+
+## Request access to a group
+
+As a group owner you can enable or disable non members to request access to
+your group. Go to the group settings and click on **Allow users to request access**.
+
+As a user, you can request to be a member of a group. Go to the group you'd
+like to be a member of, and click the **Request Access** button on the right
+side of your screen.
+
+![Request access button](img/request_access_button.png)
+
+---
+
+Group owners and masters will be notified of your request and will be able to approve or
+decline it on the members page.
+
+![Manage access requests](img/access_requests_management.png)
+
+---
+
+If you change your mind before your request is approved, just click the
+**Withdraw Access Request** button.
+
+![Withdraw access request button](img/withdraw_access_request_button.png)
+
+## Add projects to a group
+
+There are two different ways to add a new project to a group:
+
+- Select a group and then click on the **New project** button.
+
+ ![New project](img/create_new_project_from_group.png)
+
+ You can then continue on [creating a project](../../gitlab-basics/create-project.md).
+
+- While you are creating a project, select a group namespace
+ you've already created from the dropdown menu.
+
+ ![Select group](img/select_group_dropdown.png)
+
+## Transfer an existing project into a group
+
+You can transfer an existing project into a group as long as you have at least **Master** [permissions][permissions] to that group
+and if you are an **Owner** of the project.
+
+![Transfer a project to a new namespace](img/transfer_project_to_other_group.png)
+
+Find this option under your project's settings.
+
+GitLab administrators can use the admin interface to move any project to any namespace if needed.
+
+## Manage group memberships via LDAP
+
+In GitLab Enterprise Edition it is possible to manage GitLab group memberships using LDAP groups.
+See [the GitLab Enterprise Edition documentation](../../integration/ldap.md) for more information.
+
+## Group settings
+
+Once you have created a group, you can manage its settings by navigating to
+the group's dashboard, and clicking **Settings**.
+
+![group settings](img/group_settings.png)
+
+### General settings
+
+Besides giving you the option to edit any settings you've previously
+set when [creating the group](#create-a-new-group), you can also
+access further configurations for your group.
+
+#### Enforce 2FA to group members
+
+Add a secury layer to your group by
+[enforcing two-factor authentication (2FA)](../../security/two_factor_authentication.md#enforcing-2fa-for-all-users-in-a-group)
+to all group members.
+
+#### Member Lock (EES/EEP)
+
+Available in [GitLab Enterprise Edition Starter](https://about.gitlab.com/gitlab-ee/),
+with **Member Lock** it is possible to lock membership in project to the
+level of members in group.
+
+Learn more about [Member Lock](https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/user/group/index.html#member-lock-ees-eep).
+
+#### Share with group lock (EES/EEP)
+
+In [GitLab Enterprise Edition Starter](https://about.gitlab.com/gitlab-ee/)
+it is possible to prevent projects in a group from [sharing
+a project with another group](../../workflow/share_projects_with_other_groups.md).
+This allows for tighter control over project access.
+
+Learn more about [Share with group lock](https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/user/group/index.html#share-with-group-lock-ees-eep).
+
+### Advanced settings
+
+- **Projects**: view all projects within that group, add members to each project,
+access each project's settings, and remove any project from the same screen.
+- **Webhooks**: configure [webhooks](../project/integrations/webhooks.md)
+and [push rules](https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/push_rules/push_rules.html#push-rules) to your group (Push Rules is available in [GitLab Enteprise Edition Starter][ee].)
+- **Audit Events**: view [Audit Events](https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/administration/audit_events.html#audit-events)

+# Personal access tokens
+
+> [Introduced][ce-3749] in GitLab 8.8.
+
+Personal access tokens are useful if you need access to the [GitLab API][api].
+Instead of using your private token which grants full access to your account,
+personal access tokens could be a better fit because of their
+[granular permissions](#limiting-scopes-of-a-personal-access-token).
+
+You can also use them to authenticate against Git over HTTP. They are the only
+accepted method of authentication when you have
+[Two-Factor Authentication (2FA)][2fa] enabled.
+
+Once you have your token, [pass it to the API][usage] using either the
+`private_token` parameter or the `PRIVATE-TOKEN` header.
+
+The expiration of personal access tokens happens on the date you define,
+at midnight UTC.
+
+## Creating a personal access token
+
+You can create as many personal access tokens as you like from your GitLab
+profile.
+
+1. Log in to your GitLab account.
+1. Go to your **Profile settings**.
+1. Go to **Access tokens**.
+1. Choose a name and optionally an expiry date for the token.
+1. Choose the [desired scopes](#limiting-scopes-of-a-personal-access-token).

+# Projects
+
+In GitLab, you can create projects for hosting
+your codebase, use it as an issue tracker, collaborate on code, and continuously
+build, test, and deploy your app with built-in GitLab CI/CD.
+
+Your projects can be [available](../../public_access/public_access.md)
+publicly, internally, or privately, at your choice. GitLab does not limit
+the number of private projects you create.
+
+## Project's features
+
+When you create a project in GitLab, you'll have access to a large number of
+[features](https://about.gitlab.com/features/):
+
+**Issues and merge requests:**
+
+- [Issue tracker](issues/index.md): Discuss implementations with your team within issues
+ - [Issue Boards](issue_board.md): Organize and prioritize your workflow
+ - [Multiple Issue Boards](https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/user/project/issue_board.html#multiple-issue-boards) (**EES/EEP**): Allow your teams to create their own workflows (Issue Boards) for the same project
+- [Repositories](repository/index.md): Host your code in a fully
+integrated platform
+ - [Protected branches](protected_branches.md): Prevent collaborators
+ from messing with history or pushing code without review
+ - [Protected tags](protected_tags.md): Control over who has
+ permission to create tags, and prevent accidental update or deletion
+- [Merge Requests](merge_requests/index.md): Apply your branching
+strategy and get reviewed by your team
+ - [Merge Request Approvals](https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/user/project/merge_requests/merge_request_approvals.html) (**EES/EEP**): Ask for approval before
+ implementing a change
+ - [Fix merge conflicts from the UI](merge_requests/resolve_conflicts.md):
+ Your Git diff tool right from GitLab's UI
+ - [Review Apps](../../ci/review_apps/index.md): Live preview the results
+ of the changes proposed in a merge request in a per-branch basis
+- [Labels](labels.md): Organize issues and merge requests by labels
+- [Time Tracking](../../workflow/time_tracking.md): Track estimate time
+and time spent on
+ the conclusion of an issue or merge request
+- [Milestones](milestones/index.md): Work towards a target date
+- [Description templates](description_templates.md): Define context-specific
+templates for issue and merge request description fields for your project
+- [Slash commands (quick actions)](quick_actions.md): Textual shortcuts for
+common actions on issues or merge requests
+
+**GitLab CI/CD:**
+
+- [GitLab CI/CD](../../ci/README.md): GitLab's built-in [Continuous Integration, Delivery, and Deployment](https://about.gitlab.com/2016/08/05/continuous-integration-delivery-and-deployment-with-gitlab/) tool
+ - [Container Registry](container_registry.md): Build and push Docker
+ images out-of-the-box

This is provided by leveraging the official [Cloudwatch exporter](https://github.com/prometheus/cloudwatch_exporter), which translates [Cloudwatch metrics](https://aws.amazon.com/cloudwatch/) into a Prometheus readable form.
+
+## Metrics supported
+
+| Name | Query |

+| HTTP Error Rate (%) | sum(aws_elb_httpcode_backend_5_xx_sum{%{environment_filter}}) / sum(aws_elb_request_count_sum{%{environment_filter}}) |
+
+## Configuring Prometheus to monitor for Cloudwatch metrics
+
+To get started with Cloudwatch monitoring, you should install and configure the [Cloudwatch exporter](https://github.com/hnlq715/nginx-vts-exporter) which retrieves and parses the specified Cloudwatch metrics and translates them into a Prometheus monitoring endpoint.
+
+Right now, the only AWS resource supported is the Elastic Load Balancer, whose Cloudwatch metrics can be found [here](http://docs.aws.amazon.com/elasticloadbalancing/latest/classic/elb-cloudwatch-metrics.html).
+
+A sample Cloudwatch Exporter configuration file, configured for basic AWS ELB monitoring, is [available for download](../samples/cloudwatch.yml).
+
+## Specifying the Environment label
+
+In order to isolate and only display relevant metrics for a given environment
+however, GitLab needs a method to detect which labels are associated. To do this, GitLab will [look for an `environment` label](metrics.md#identifying-environments).

+
+GitLab has support for automatically detecting and monitoring Kubernetes metrics. Kubernetes exposes Node level metrics out of the box via the built-in [Prometheus metrics support in cAdvisor](https://github.com/google/cadvisor). No additional services or exporters are needed.

+## Configuring Prometheus to monitor for Kubernetes node metrics
+
+In order for Prometheus to collect Kubernetes metrics, you first must have a
+Prometheus server up and running. You have two options here:
+
+- If you have an Omnibus based GitLab installation within your Kubernetes cluster, you can leverage the bundled Prometheus server to [monitor Kubernetes](../../../../administration/monitoring/prometheus/index.md#configuring-prometheus-to-monitor-kubernetes).
+- To configure your own Prometheus server, you can follow the [Prometheus documentation](https://prometheus.io/docs/introduction/overview/) or [our guide](../../../../administration/monitoring/prometheus/index.md#configuring-your-own-prometheus-server-within-kubernetes).

+# Prometheus Metrics library
+> [Introduced](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/merge_requests/8935) in GitLab 9.0
+
+GitLab offers automatic detection of select [Prometheus exporters](https://prometheus.io/docs/instrumenting/exporters/). Currently supported exporters are:
+* [Kubernetes](kubernetes.md)
+* [NGINX](nginx.md)
+* [HAProxy](haproxy.md)
+* [Amazon Cloud Watch](cloudwatch.md)
+
+We have tried to surface the most important metrics for each exporter, and will be continuing to add support for additional exporters in future releases. If you would like to add support for other official exporters, [contributions](#adding-to-the-library) are welcome.
+
+## Identifying Environments
+
+GitLab retrieves performance data from the configured Prometheus server, and attempts to identifying the presence of known metrics. Once identified, GitLab then needs to be able to map the data to a particular environment.
+
+In order to isolate and only display relevant metrics for a given environment, GitLab needs a method to detect which labels are associated. To do that,
+GitLab will look for the required metrics which have a label that
+matches the [$CI_ENVIRONMENT_SLUG][ci-environment-slug].
+
+For example if you are deploying to an environment named `production`, there must be a label for the metric with the value of `production`.
+
+## Adding to the library
+
+We strive to support the 2-4 most important metrics for each common system service that supports Prometheus. If you are looking for support for a particular exporter which has not yet been added to the library, additions can be made [to the `additional_metrics.yml`](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/blob/master/config/prometheus/additional_metrics.yml) file.
+
+> Note: The library is only for monitoring public, common, system services which all customers can benefit from. Support for monitoring [customer proprietary metrics](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ee/issues/2273) will be added in a subsequent release.

+
+## Configuring Prometheus to monitor for NGINX metrics
+
+To get started with NGINX monitoring, you should first enable the [VTS statistics](https://github.com/vozlt/nginx-module-vts)) module for your NGINX server. This will capture and display statistics in an HTML readable form. Next, you should install and configure the [NGINX VTS exporter](https://github.com/hnlq715/nginx-vts-exporter) which parses these statistics and translates them into a Prometheus monitoring endpoint.
+
+If you are using NGINX as your Kubernetes ingress, there is [upcoming direct support](https://github.com/kubernetes/ingress/pull/423) for enabling Prometheus monitoring in the 0.9.0 release.

+For example, let's consider this simplified development workflow:
+
+1. You have a repository hosting your app's codebase
+and your team actively contributing to code
+1. Your **backend** team starts working a new
+implementation, gathers feedback and approval, and pass it over to **frontend**
+1. When frontend is complete, the new feature is deployed to **staging** to be tested
+1. When successful, it is deployed to **production**
+
+If we have the labels "**backend**", "**frontend**", "**staging**", and
+"**production**", and an Issue Board with a list for each, we can:
+
+- Visualize the entire flow of implementations since the
+beginning of the development lifecycle until deployed to production
+- Prioritize the issues in a list by moving them vertically
+- Move issues between lists to organize them according to the labels you've set
+- Add multiple issues to lists in the board by selecting one or more existing issues

Merge requests allow you to exchange changes you made to source code and
collaborate with other people on the same project.
+## Overview
+
+A Merge Request (**MR**) is the basis of GitLab as a code collaboration
+and version control platform.
+Is it simple as the name implies: a _request_ to _merge_ one branch into another.
+
+With GitLab merge requests, you can:
+
+- Compare the changes between two [branches](https://git-scm.com/book/en/v2/Git-Branching-Branches-in-a-Nutshell#_git_branching)
+- [Review and discuss](../../discussions/index.md#discussions) the proposed modifications inline
+- Live preview the changes when [Review Apps](../../../ci/review_apps/index.md) is configured for your project
+- Build, test, and deploy your code in a per-branch basis with built-in [GitLab CI/CD](../../../ci/README.md)
+- Prevent the merge request from being merged before it's ready with [WIP MRs](#work-in-progress-merge-requests)
+- View the deployment process through [Pipeline Graphs](../../../ci/pipelines.md#pipeline-graphs)
+- [Automatically close the issue(s)](../../project/issues/closing_issues.md#via-merge-request) that originated the implementation proposed in the merge request
+- Assign it to any registered user, and change the assignee how many times you need
+- Assign a [milestone](../../project/milestones/index.md) and track the development of a broader implementation
+- Organize your issues and merge requests consistently throughout the project with [labels](../../project/labels.md)
+- Add a time estimation and the time spent with that merge request with [Time Tracking](../../../workflow/time_tracking.html#time-tracking)
+- [Resolve merge conflicts from the UI](#resolve-conflicts)
+
+With **[GitLab Enterprise Edition][ee]**, you can also:
+
+- View the deployment process across projects with [Multi-Project Pipeline Graphs](https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/ci/multi_project_pipeline_graphs.html#multi-project-pipeline-graphs) (available only in GitLab Enterprise Edition Premium)
+- Request [approvals](https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/user/project/merge_requests/merge_request_approvals.html) from your managers (available in GitLab Enterprise Edition Starter)
+- Enable [fast-forward merge requests](https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/user/project/merge_requests/fast_forward_merge.html) (available in GitLab Enterprise Edition Starter)
+- [Squash and merge](https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/user/project/merge_requests/squash_and_merge.html) for a cleaner commit history (available in GitLab Enterprise Edition Starter)
+- Enable [semi-linear history merge requests](https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/user/project/merge_requests/index.html#semi-linear-history-merge-requests) as another security layer to guarantee the pipeline is passing in the target branch (available in GitLab Enterprise Edition Starter)

+
+A. Consider you are a software developer working in a team:
+
+1. You checkout a new branch, and submit your changes through a merge request
+1. You gather feedback from your team
+1. You work on the implementation optimizing code with [Code Quality reports](https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/user/project/merge_requests/code_quality_diff.html) (available in GitLab Enterprise Edition Starter)
+1. You build and test your changes with GitLab CI/CD
+1. You request the approval from your manager
+1. Your manager pushes a commit with his final review, [approves the merge request](https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/user/project/merge_requests/merge_request_approvals.html), and set it to [merge when pipeline succeeds](#merge-when-pipeline-succeeds) (Merge Request Approvals are available in GitLab Enterprise Edition Starter)
+1. Your changes get deployed to production with [manual actions](../../../ci/yaml/README.md#manual-actions) for GitLab CI/CD
+1. Your implementations were successfully shipped to your customer
+
+B. Consider you're a web developer writing a webpage for your company's:
+
+1. You checkout a new branch, and submit a new page through a merge request
+1. You gather feedback from your reviewers
+1. Your changes are previewed with [Review Apps](../../../ci/review_apps/index.md)
+1. You request your web designers for their implementation
+1. You request the [approval](https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/user/project/merge_requests/merge_request_approvals.html) from your manager (available in GitLab Enterprise Edition Starter)
+1. Once approved, your merge request is [squashed and merged](https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/user/project/merge_requests/squash_and_merge.html), and [deployed to staging with GitLab Pages](https://about.gitlab.com/2016/08/26/ci-deployment-and-environments/) (Squash and Merge is available in GitLab Enterprise Edition Starter)

+
+Quick actions are textual shortcuts for common actions on issues or merge
+requests that are usually done by clicking buttons or dropdowns in GitLab's UI.
+You can enter these commands while creating a new issue or merge request, and
+in comments. Each command should be on a separate line in order to be properly
+detected and executed. The commands are removed from the issue, merge request or
+comment body before it is saved and will not be visible to anyone else.
+
+Below is a list of all of the available commands and descriptions about what they
+do.
+
+| Command | Action |
+|:---------------------------|:-------------|
+| `/close` | Close the issue or merge request |
+| `/reopen` | Reopen the issue or merge request |
+| `/merge` | Merge (when pipeline succeeds) |
+| `/title <New title>` | Change title |

+## Delete merged branches
+
+> [Introduced][ce-6449] in GitLab 8.14.
+
+![Delete merged branches](img/delete_merged_branches.png)
+
+This feature allows merged branches to be deleted in bulk. Only branches that
+have been merged and [are not protected][protected] will be deleted as part of
+this operation.
+
+It's particularly useful to clean up old branches that were not deleting
+automatically when a merge request was merged.

+# Repository
+
+A [repository](https://git-scm.com/book/en/v2/Git-Basics-Getting-a-Git-Repository)
+is what you use to store your codebase in GitLab and change it with version control.
+A repository is part of a [project](../index.md), which has a lot of other features.
+
+## Create a repository
+
+To create a new repository, all you need to do is
+[create a new project](../../../gitlab-basics/create-project.md).
+
+Once you create a new project, you can add new files via UI
+(read the section below) or via command line.
+To add files from the command line, follow the instructions that will
+be presented on the screen when you create a new project, or read
+through them in the [command line basics](../../../gitlab-basics/start-using-git.md)
+documentation.
+
+> **Important:**
+For security reasons, when using the command line, we strongly recommend
+you to [connect with GitLab via SSH](../../../ssh/README.md).
+
+## Create and edit files
+
+Host your codebase in GitLab repositories by pushing your files to GitLab.
+You can either use the user interface (UI), or connect your local computer
+with GitLab [through the command line](../../../gitlab-basics/command-line-commands.md#start-working-on-your-project).
+
+To configure [GitLab CI/CD](../../../ci/README.md) to build, test, and deploy
+you code, add a file called [.`gitlab-ci.yml`](../../../ci/quick_start/README.md)
+to your repository's root.
+
+**From the user interface:**
+
+GitLab's UI allows you to perform lots of Git commands without having to
+touch the command line. Even if you use the command line regularly, sometimes
+it's easier to do so [via GitLab UI](web_editor.md):
+
+- [Create a file](web_editor.md#create-a-file)
+- [Upload a file](web_editor.md#upload-a-file)
+- [File templates](web_editor.md#template-dropdowns)
+- [Create a directory](web_editor.md#create-a-directory)
+- [Start a merge request](web_editor.md#tips)
+
+**From the command line:**
+
+To get started with the command line, please read through the
+[command line basics documentation](../../../gitlab-basics/command-line-commands.md).
+
+## Branches
+
+When you submit changes in a new branch, you create a new version
+of that project's file tree. Your branch contains all the changes
+you are presenting, which are detected by Git line by line.
+
+To continue your workflow, once you pushed your changes to a new branch,
+you can create a [merge request](../merge_requests/index.md), perform
+inline code review, and [discuss](../../discussions/index.md)
+your implementation with your team.
+You can live preview changes submitted to a new branch with
+[Review Apps](../../../ci/review_apps/index.md).
+
+With [GitLab Enterprise Edition](https://about.gitlab.com/gitlab-ee/)
+subscriptions, you can also request
+[approval](https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/user/project/merge_requests/merge_request_approvals.html#merge-request-approvals) from your managers.
+
+To create, delete, and branches via GitLab's UI:
+
+- [Create a branch](web_editor.md#create-a-new-branch)
+- [Protected branches](../protected_branches.md#protected-branches)
+- [Delete merged branches](branches/index.md#delete-merged-branches)
+
+Alternatively, you can use the
+[command line](../../../gitlab-basics/start-using-git.md#create-a-branch).
+
+To learn more about branching strategies read through the
+[GitLab Flow](../../../university/training/gitlab_flow.md) documentation.
+
+## Commits
+
+When you [commit your changes](https://git-scm.com/book/en/v2/Git-Basics-Recording-Changes-to-the-Repository),
+you are introducing those changes to your branch.
+Via command line, you can commit multiple times before pushing.
+
+- **Commit message:**
+A commit message is important to identity what is being changed and,
+more importantly, why. In GitLab, you can add keywords to the commit
+message that will perform one of the actions below:
+ - **Trigger a GitLab CI/CD pipeline:**
+ If you have your project configured with [GitLab CI/CD](../../../ci/README.md),
+ you will trigger a pipeline per push, not per commit.
+ - **Skip pipelines:**
+ You can add to you commit message the keyword
+ [`[ci skip]`](../../../ci/yaml/README.html#skipping-jobs)
+ and GitLab CI will skip that pipeline.
+ - **Cross-link issues and merge requests:**
+ [Cross-linking](../issues/crosslinking_issues.md#from-commit-messages)
+ is great to keep track of what's is somehow related in your workflow.
+ If you mention an issue or a merge request in a commit message, they will be shown
+ on their respective thread.
+- **Cherry-pick a commit:**
+In GitLab, you can
+[cherry-pick a commit](../merge_requests/cherry_pick_changes.md#cherry-picking-a-commit)
+right from the UI.
+- **Revert a commit:**
+Easily [revert a commit](../merge_requests/revert_changes.md#reverting-a-commit)
+from the UI to a selected branch.
+
+## Repository size
+
+In GitLab.com, your repository size limit it 10GB. For other instances,
+the repository size is limited by your system administrators.
+
+You can also [reduce a repository size using Git](reducing_the_repo_size_using_git.md).
+
+## Contributors
+
+All the contributors to your codebase are displayed under your project's **Settings > Contributors**.
+
+They are ordered from the collaborator with the greatest number
+of commits to the fewest, and displayed on a nice graph:
+
+![contributors to code](img/contributors_graph.png)
+
+## Repository graph
+
+The repository graph displays visually the Git flow strategy used in that repository:
+
+![repository Git flow](img/repo_graph.png)
+
+Find it under your project's **Repository > Graph**.
+
+## Compare
+
+Select branches to compare and view the changes inline:
+
+![compare branches](img/compare_branches.png)
+
+Find it under your project's **Repository > Compare**.
+
+## Locked files (EEP)
+
+Lock your files to prevent any conflicting changes.
+
+[File Locking](https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/user/project/file_lock.html) is available only in
+[GitLab Enterprise Edition Premium](https://about.gitlab.com/gitlab-ee/).
+
+## Repository's API
+
+You can access your repos via [repository API](../../../api/repositories.md).

+# Reducing the repository size using Git
+
+A GitLab Entrerprise Edition administrator can set a [repository size limit][admin-repo-size]
+which will prevent you to exceed it.
+
+When a project has reached its size limit, you will not be able to push to it,
+create a new merge request, or merge existing ones. You will still be able to
+create new issues, and clone the project though. Uploading LFS objects will
+also be denied.
+
+In order to lift these restrictions, the administrator of the GitLab instance
+needs to increase the limit on the particular project that exceeded it or you
+need to instruct Git to rewrite changes.
+
+If you exceed the repository size limit, your first thought might be to remove
+some data, make a new commit and push back to the repository. Unfortunately,
+it's not so easy and that workflow won't work. Deleting files in a commit doesn't
+actually reduce the size of the repo since the earlier commits and blobs are
+still around. What you need to do is rewrite history with Git's
+[`filter-branch` option][gitscm].
+
+Note that even with that method, until `git gc` runs on the GitLab side, the
+"removed" commits and blobs will still be around. And if a commit was ever
+included in an MR, or if a build was run for a commit, or if a user commented
+on it, it will be kept around too. So, in these cases the size will not decrease.
+
+The only fool proof way to actually decrease the repository size is to prune all
+the unneeded stuff locally, and then create a new project on GitLab and start
+using that instead.
+
+With that being said, you can try reducing your repository size with the
+following method.
+
+## Using `git filter-branch` to purge files
+
+>
+**Warning:**
+Make sure to first make a copy of your repository since rewriting history will
+purge the files and information you are about to delete. Also make sure to
+inform any collaborators to not use `pull` after your changes, but use `rebase`.
+
+1. Navigate to your repository:
+
+ ```
+ cd my_repository/
+ ```
+
+1. Change to the branch you want to remove the big file from:
+
+ ```
+ git checkout master
+ ```
+
+1. Use `filter-branch` to remove the big file:
+
+ ```
+ git filter-branch --force --tree-filter 'rm -f path/to/big_file.mpg' HEAD
+ ```
+
+1. Instruct Git to purge the unwanted data:
+
+ ```
+ git reflog expire --expire=now --all && git gc --prune=now --aggressive
+ ```
+
+1. Lastly, force push to the repository:
+
+ ```
+ git push --force origin master
+ ```
+
+Your repository should now be below the size limit.
+
+>**Note:**
+As an alternative to `filter-branch`, you can use the `bfg` tool with a
+command like: `bfg --delete-files path/to/big_file.mpg`. Read the
+[BFG Repo-Cleaner][bfg] documentation for more information.
