gdk

name	gdk
description	GitLab Development Kit is a folder and set of utilities that contain most of the GitLab production systems. This skill is useful for testing with local GitLab deployment and when researching how feature works in the GitLab monolith, AIGW, workhorse and other services

GDK lives in /Users/tomas/workspace/gl/gdk

Subfolders

• gitlab contains the main GitLab monolith Ruby on Rails codebase, database, API, frontend, everything
• gitlab-ai-gateway AI Gateway (AIGW) and Duo Workflow Service (DWS)

Starting GDK

Start GDK with cd /Users/tomas/workspace/gl/gdk && gdk start

Updating GDK

Update GDK with cd /Users/tomas/workspace/gl/gdk && gdk update

This will checkout the default branches so make sure that all work in progress is comitted.

Thanks to complications like migrations, you want to generally rebase your WIP branches on latest main/master after upgrading GDK
