+
+```
+$ cp -r /old/git/foo.git/ /home/git/repositories/new_group/
 ```
-# omnibus-gitlab
-sudo gitlab-rake gitlab:import:repos
 
-# installation from source or cookbook

+```
+$ sudo gitlab-rake gitlab:import:repos
+```

+```
+$ cd /home/git/gitlab
+$ sudo -u git -H bundle exec rake gitlab:import:repos RAILS_ENV=production
