# Move home directory from /home/git to /var/lib/git
### 0. Stop services
```bash
service gitlab stop
service nginx stop
```
### 1. Update passwd/group file
Update the `/etc/group` file, and change the gid of the group
```bash
git:x:500:
```
or you can run the following command
```bash
groupmod -g 500 git
```
Amended the `/etc/passwd` file to change the uid, gid and the home directory for git
```bash
git:x:500:500:GitLab,,,:/var/lib/git:/bin/bash
```
or you can run the following command
```bash
usermod -d /var/lib/git -g 500 -u 500 git
```
### 2. Move the git folder
```bash
cp -r /home/git /var/lib/
```
### 3. Change permissions to use the new uid/gid
```bash
chown -R git:git /var/lib/git
```
### 4. Update Gitlab config files
update `~git/gitlab/config/gitlab.yml`, using the following command
```bash
sed -i -e 's/\/home/\/var\/lib/g' ~git/gitlab/config/gitlab.yml
```
You should see the following difference after running the command

### 6. Update authorized_keys
Update the `/var/lib/git/.ssh/authorized_keys`, using the following command
```bash
sed -i -e 's/\/home/\/var\/lib/g' ~git/.ssh/authorized_keys
```
### 7. Update nginx config file
update `/etc/nginx/sites-enabled/gitlab`, using the following command
```bash
sed -i -e 's/\/home/\/var\/lib/g' /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/gitlab
```
### 8. Add/Update gitlab service and default files
We need to apply the following patch to `/etc/init.d/gitlab`, This has been submitted as a
PR already to gitlabhq. This enables to read the default file, and initialises other variables.
Without this diff, other variables then also need to be defined in `/etc/default/gitlab`

```
If you haven't already, copy the service default file, then do so, and then update the file to point to the new home directory
```bash
cp ~git/gitlab/lib/support/init.d/gitlab.default.example /etc/default/gitlab
sed -i -e 's/\/home/\/var\/lib/g' /etc/default/gitlab
```
### 9. Update gitlab-shell hooks
The file `~git/gitlab-shell/support/rewrite-hooks.sh`, has the home directory hardcoded, so we need to update this file as well
```bash
sed -i -e 's/\/home/\/var\/lib/g' ~git/gitlab-shell/support/rewrite-hooks.sh
```
Now we update all the hooks
```bash
cd ~git
sudo -u git -H gitlab-shell/support/rewrite-hooks.sh
```
### 10. Restart application
```bash
sudo service gitlab restart
sudo service nginx restart
```
### 11. Check application status
Check if GitLab and its environment are configured correctly:
cd ~git/gitlab
sudo -u git -H bundle exec rake gitlab:env:info RAILS_ENV=production
To make sure you didn't miss anything run a more thorough check with:
cd ~git/gitlab
sudo -u git -H bundle exec rake gitlab:check RAILS_ENV=production
### 12. Remove old home
Once you are happy that everything is now working in the new directory, you can remove the old `/home/git`
rm -rf /home/git
