GitLab and Git

I am a GitLab newbie. I already had a Git repository set up on our server, but had not done anything with it.

Since installing GitLab, I see that it has its own repository… Not sure what to do with the existing Git repo…

Can I issue commands to GitLab from a build script? That was the big draw for the Git repo… maybe I can just ditch it if I can do commends to GitLab from the build script.

What kind of instructions would you like to issue?

Some of the workarounds on GitLab that you would do on a Git bare repo manually:

• Push Rules: https://gitlab.com/help/push_rules/push_rules.md
• You can also check GitLab CI which allows you to have custom commands for your build script
• https://about.gitlab.com/gitlab-ci/
• http://docs.gitlab.com/ce/ci/

Ok, thank you. I will look into those.
