GitLab Workhorse

GitLab Workhorse is a smart reverse proxy for GitLab. It handles "large" HTTP requests such as file downloads, file uploads, Git push/pull and Git archive downloads.

Workhorse itself is not a feature, but there are several features in GitLab that would not work efficiently without Workhorse.

Canonical source

The canonical source for Workhorse is currently gitlab-org/gitlab-workhorse. As explained in https://gitlab.com/groups/gitlab-org/-/epics/4826, we are in the process of moving the canonical source to gitlab-org/gitlab/workhorse.

Until that transition is complete, changes (Merge Requests) for Workhorse should be submitted at gitlab-org/gitlab-workhorse. Once merged, they will propagate to gitlab-org/gitlab/workhorse via the usual Workhorse release process.
