I've successfully installed GitLab for management of private repositories (it's quite awesome!).
The problem I am having is by default, Gitlab login is presented when anyone hits my subdomain. I would like to protect the entire area with a basic_auth layer before the user gets the GitLab login screen. Unfortunately, this breaks my ability to push/pull from GitLab when it's enabled.
my nginx config to enable basic_auth:
auth_basic "Restricted";
auth_basic_user_file htpasswd;
Any ideas on how I can enable basic_auth without breaking git / gitlab functionality?

By default, Omnibus GitLab installs GitLab with bundled NGINX. Omnibus GitLab allows webserver access through the gitlab-www user, which resides in the group with the same name. To allow an external webserver access to GitLab, the external webserver user needs to be added to the gitlab-www group.
auth_basic. auth_basic_user_file. The ngx_http_auth_basic_module module allows limiting access to resources by validating the user name and password using the “HTTP Basic Authentication” protocol. Access can also be limited by address, by the result of subrequest, or by JWT.
Add this to /etc/gitlab/gitlab.rb:
nginx['custom_gitlab_server_config'] = "auth_basic 'Restricted';\n auth_basic_user_file htpasswd;\n"
And run gitlab-ctl reconfigure
