# Local GitLab

Allows you to spin up GitLab locally with Docker to test cloning. Would eventually like to turn these into integration tests.

For enterprise GitLab, start docker then run the following command from the root of the repo

```
./scripts/local-gitlab/start-ee.sh [STOP_GITLAB_WHEN_FINISHED? (Default: true)] [PERSIST_GITLAB_LOCALLY? (Default: false)]
```

TODO: Do the same for the community edition of GitLab

If running locally you'll also need to update your /etc/hosts

`echo "127.0.0.1 gitlab.example.com" >> /etc/hosts`

Once github is running you can vist

http://gitlab.example.com in your browser

You can get the root token by running

```
docker exec -it gitlab grep 'Password:' /etc/gitlab/initial_root_password | awk '{print $2}'
```
