+# Local GitLab
+
+Allows you to spin up GitLab locally with Docker to test cloning. Would eventually like to turn these into integration tests.
+
+For enterprise GitLab, start docker then run `./scripts/local-gitlab/start-ee.sh false` from the root of the repo
+
+TODO: Do the same for the community edition of GitLab
