To move the `git` home directory, all GitLab services must be stopped. Run
`gitlab-ctl stop && initctl stop gitlab-runsvdir`. Then continue with the
reconfigure.
Run `sudo gitlab-ctl reconfigure` to start using the central location. Please

When using default Omnibus configuration you will need to share 5 data locations
When using default Omnibus configuration you will need to share 4 data locations

following are the 4 locations need to be shared:
| Location | Description | Default configuration |
| -------- | ----------- | --------------------- |
| `/var/opt/gitlab/git-data` | Git repository data. This will account for a large portion of your data | `git_data_dirs({"default" => { "path" => "/var/opt/gitlab/git-data"} })`
