Git abuse rate limiting
Release Post
Git abuse rate limiting is a feature to notify admins of users who download or clone more than a specified number of repositories in the group or any of it’s subgroups in a given time, either through the UI or Git. When the feature is enabled, the owners of the main group receive an email when a user exceeds the specified limit in the specified time. When the “automatic banning” option is enabled, the user will be banned from the group and it’s subgroups.
Banned users cannot access the main group or any of it’s non-public subgroups via HTTP or SSH. Access to unrelated groups is unaffected. Group administrators can “unban” users via UI or API in the event that a ban should not be permanent.
