# gitlab-workhorse
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.
Gitlab-workhorse is a smart reverse proxy for GitLab. It handles
"large" HTTP requests such as file downloads, file uploads, Git
push/pull and Git archive downloads.
Architecture: Git client -> NGINX -> gitlab-workhorse (makes
auth request to GitLab Rails app) -> git-upload-pack

gitlab-workhorse allows Git HTTP clients to push and pull to
and from Git repositories. Each incoming request is first replayed
(with an empty request body) to an external authentication/authorization
HTTP server: the 'auth backend'. The auth backend is expected to
be a GitLab Unicorn process. The 'auth response' is a JSON message
which tells gitlab-workhorse the path of the Git repository
to read from/write to.
The 'auth backend' refers to the GitLab Rails applicatoin. The name is a holdover from when gitlab-workhorse only handled Git push/pull over HTTP.
