Since 2011 GitLab is released on the 22nd of every month. Every new release includes an upgrade guide.

Run in production mode

The Installation guide contains instructions on how to download an init script and run it automatically on boot. You can also start the init script manually:

sudo service gitlab start

or by directly calling the script

 sudo /etc/init.d/gitlab start

Run in development mode

Start it with Foreman

bundle exec foreman start -p 3000

or start each component separately

bundle exec rails s
bundle exec rake sidekiq:start

Run the tests

      bundle exec rake db:setup RAILS_ENV=test
      bundle exec rake db:seed_fu RAILS_ENV=test

There are a lot of helpful GitLab users there who may be able to help you quickly. If your particular issue turns out to be a bug, it will find its way from there to a fix.

  • Unofficial #gitlab IRC on Freenode is another way to get in touch with other GitLab users who may be able to help you.

  • Feedback and suggestions forum is the place to propose and discuss new features for GitLab.
