[Wikitech-l] GitLab: Users renamed to match shell names

Hey all, A quick note that, after discussion on T288392[0], we've reconfigured gitlab.wikimedia.org to use shell names for users instead of the LDAP CN, and renamed all existing logins to match. This seems like a better match for most users' expectations, and better ergonomics overall. As a quick example, I was BrennenBearnes before, and now am at: https://gitlab.wikimedia.org/brennen/ GitLab handles redirects for renamed users both in the web interface and for git remotes, but if you want to reconfigure the remote URL for an existing clone of a repo, you can do something like the following, substituting your new username: $ git remote set-url origin git@gitlab.wikimedia.org:brennen/test.git [0]. https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T288392 -- Brennen Bearnes Release Engineering Wikimedia Foundation
