# GitLab project architecture
|
|
|
|
GitLab project consists of two parts: GitLab and GitLab shell.
|
|
|
|
## GitLab
|
|
|
|
Web application with background jobs workers.
|
|
Provides you with UI and most of functionality.
|
|
For some operations like repo creation - uses GitLab shell.
|
|
|
|
Uses:
|
|
* Ruby as main language for application code and most libraries.
|
|
* [Rails](http://rubyonrails.org/) web framework as main framework for application.
|
|
* Mysql or postgres as main databases. Used for persistent data storage(users, project, issues etc).
|
|
* Redis database. Used for cache and exchange data between some components.
|
|
* Python2 because of [pygments](http://pygments.org/) as code syntax highlighter.
|
|
|
|
## GitLab shell
|
|
|
|
Command line ruby application. Used by GitLab through shell commands.
|
|
It provides interface to all kind of manipulations with repositories and ssh keys.
|
|
Full list of commands you can find in README of GitLab shell repo.
|
|
Works on pure ruby and do not require any additional software.
