+
+**Omnibus Installation**
+
+```
+sudo gitlab-rake gitlab:check
+```
+
+**Source Installation**
+
+```
+bundle exec rake gitlab:check RAILS_ENV=production
+```
+
+NOTE: Use SANITIZE=true for gitlab:check if you want to omit project names from the output.

+
+## Rebuild authorized_keys file
+
+In some case it is necessary to rebuild the `authorized_keys` file.
+
+**Omnibus Installation**
+
+```
+sudo gitlab-rake gitlab:shell:setup
+```
+
+**Source Installation**
+
+```
+cd /home/git/gitlab
+sudo -u git -H bundle exec rake gitlab:shell:setup RAILS_ENV=production
+```
+
+```
+This will rebuild an authorized_keys file.
+You will lose any data stored in authorized_keys file.
+Do you want to continue (yes/no)? yes
+```
+
+## Clear redis cache
+
+If for some reason the dashboard shows wrong information you might want to
+clear Redis' cache.
+
+**Omnibus Installation**
+
+```
+sudo gitlab-rake cache:clear
+```
+
+**Source Installation**
+
+```
+cd /home/git/gitlab
+sudo -u git -H bundle exec rake cache:clear RAILS_ENV=production
+```
+
+## Precompile the assets
+
+Sometimes during version upgrades you might end up with some wrong CSS or
+missing some icons. In that case, try to precompile the assets again.
+
+Note that this only applies to source installations and does NOT apply to
+Omnibus packages.
+
+**Source Installation**
+
+```
+cd /home/git/gitlab
+sudo -u git -H bundle exec rake assets:precompile RAILS_ENV=production
+```
+
+For omnibus versions, the unoptimized assets (JavaScript, CSS) are frozen at
+the release of upstream GitLab. The omnibus version includes optimized versions
+of those assets. Unless you are modifying the JavaScript / CSS code on your
+production machine after installing the package, there should be no reason to redo
+rake assets:precompile on the production machine. If you suspect that assets
+have been corrupted, you should reinstall the omnibus package.
+
+## Tracking Deployments
+
+GitLab provides a Rake task that lets you track deployments in GitLab
+Performance Monitoring. This Rake task simply stores the current GitLab version
+in the GitLab Performance Monitoring database.
+
+**Omnibus Installation**
+
+```
+sudo gitlab-rake gitlab:track_deployment
+```
+
+**Source Installation**
+
+```
+cd /home/git/gitlab
+sudo -u git -H bundle exec rake gitlab:track_deployment RAILS_ENV=production
+```
+
+## Create or repair repository hooks symlink
+
+If the GitLab shell hooks directory location changes or another circumstance
+leads to the hooks symlink becoming missing or invalid, run this Rake task
+to create or repair the symlinks.
+
+**Omnibus Installation**
+
+```
+sudo gitlab-rake gitlab:shell:create_hooks
+```
+
+**Source Installation**
+
+```
+cd /home/git/gitlab
+sudo -u git -H bundle exec rake gitlab:shell:create_hooks RAILS_ENV=production
+```
