# Namespaces

## Enable usernames and namespaces for user projects

This command will enable the namespaces feature introduced in v4.0. It will move every project in its namespace folder.

Note:

- Because the **repository location will change**, you will need to **update all your git URLs** to point to the new location.
- Username can be changed at **Profile ➔ Account**.

**Example:**

Old path: `git@example.org:myrepo.git`

New path: `git@example.org:username/myrepo.git` or `git@example.org:groupname/myrepo.git`

```
bundle exec rake gitlab:enable_namespaces RAILS_ENV=production
```
