* `/home/git/.ssh` - contains openssh settings.  Specifically the `authorized_keys` file managed by gitlab-shell.
* `/home/git/gitlab` - GitLab core software.
* `/home/git/gitlab-satellites` - checked out repositories for merge requests and file editing from web UI.  This can be treated as a temporary files directory.

* `/home/git/gitlab-shell` - Core add-on component of GitLab.  Maintains SSH cloning and other functionality.

* `/home/git/repositories` - bare repositories for all projects organized by namespace.  This is where the git repositories which are pushed/pulled are maintained for all projects.  **This area is critical data for projects.  [Keep a backup](../raketasks/backup_restore.md)**
