gitlab-workhorse handles slow requests for GitLab This HTTP server can service 'git clone', 'git push' etc. commands from Git clients that use the 'smart' Git HTTP protocol (git-upload-pack and git-receive-pack). It is intended to be deployed behind NGINX (for request routing and SSL termination) with access to a GitLab backend (for authentication and authorization) and local disk access to Git repositories managed by GitLab. In GitLab, this role was previously performed by gitlab-grack. In this file we start the web server and hand off to the upstream type.
