Clicking through to https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitaly yields

> Gitaly is a Git RPC service for handling all the git calls made by GitLab

So I think this means that a major piece of gitlab now supports sha256 git repos? But probably not everything and therefore we can't actually push sha256 git repos to gitlab yet?

Yeah, Gitaly is GitLab's approach to scaling up the actual Git operations. It's certainly a major part of the equation, but the article suggests the Rails app still has a bit of work to go before it's possible to use SHA256 repos.

The answer to your question is in the first sentence of the article.

Ah, now that I reread it, yes it does say

> While there is still some work we need to do in other parts of the GitLab application before SHA-256 repositories can be used, this milestone is important.

Somehow I managed to skim over and miss that; I was expecting a "what this means for gitlab" or "next steps" section.
