# GitLab Workhorse
GitLab Workhorse is a smart reverse proxy for GitLab. It handles
"large" HTTP requests such as file downloads, file uploads, Git
push/pull and Git archive downloads.
Workhorse itself is not a feature, but there are [several features in
GitLab](doc/architecture/gitlab_features.md) that would not work efficiently without Workhorse.
## Canonical source
The canonical source for Workhorse is currently
[gitlab-org/gitlab-workhorse](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-workhorse).
As explained in https://gitlab.com/groups/gitlab-org/-/epics/4826, we
are in the process of moving the canonical source to
[gitlab-org/gitlab/workhorse](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/tree/master/workhorse).
Until that transition is complete, changes (Merge Requests) for
Workhorse should be submitted at
[gitlab-org/gitlab-workhorse](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-workhorse).
Once merged, they will propagate to gitlab-org/gitlab/workhorse via
the usual Workhorse release process.
## Documentation
Workhorse documentation is available in the [`doc` folder of this repository](doc/).
