gitlab-workhorse

unloads Git HTTP traffic from the GitLab Rails app (Unicorn)

gitlab-workhorse was designed to unload Git HTTP traffic from the GitLab Rails app (Unicorn) to a separate daemon. It also serves 'git archive' downloads for GitLab. All authentication and authorization logic is still handled by the GitLab Rails app. Architecture: Git client -> NGINX -> gitlab-workhorse (makes auth request to GitLab Rails app) -> git-upload-pack
