# Import bare repositories into your GitLab instance
## Notes
- The owner of the project will be the first admin
- The groups will be created as needed
- The owner of the group will be the first admin
- Existing projects will be skipped
## How to use
### Create a new folder inside the git repositories path. This will be the name of the new group.
- For omnibus-gitlab, it is located at: `/var/opt/gitlab/git-data/repositories` by default, unless you changed
it in the `/etc/gitlab/gitlab.rb` file.
- For installations from source, it is usually located at: `/home/git/repositories` or you can see where
your repositories are located by looking at `config/gitlab.yml` under the `gitlab_shell => repos_path` entry.
New folder needs to have git user ownership and read/write/execute access for git user and its group:
```
sudo -u git mkdir /var/opt/gitlab/git-data/repositories/new_group
```
If you are using an installation from source, replace `/var/opt/gitlab/git-data`
with `/home/git`.
### Copy your bare repositories inside this newly created folder:
```
sudo cp -r /old/git/foo.git /var/opt/gitlab/git-data/repositories/new_group/
# Do this once when you are done copying git repositories
sudo chown -R git:git /var/opt/gitlab/git-data/repositories/new_group/
```
`foo.git` needs to be owned by the git user and git users group.
If you are using an installation from source, replace `/var/opt/gitlab/git-data`
with `/home/git`.
### Run the command below depending on your type of installation:
#### Omnibus Installation
```
$ sudo gitlab-rake gitlab:import:repos
```
#### Installation from source
Before running this command you need to change the directory to where your GitLab installation is located:
```
$ cd /home/git/gitlab
$ sudo -u git -H bundle exec rake gitlab:import:repos RAILS_ENV=production
```
#### Example output
```
Processing abcd.git
* Created abcd (abcd.git)
Processing group/xyz.git
* Created Group group (2)
* Created xyz (group/xyz.git)
[...]
```
