This unit file allows you to automatically start gitlabfs as a systemd unit.
## Install
1. Install gitlabfs using `go get`
2. Run `which gitlabfs` to verify that gitlabfs is present in your PATH. if the command fail, you may need to add **$HOME/go/bin** to your PATH.
3. Copy **gitlabfs@.service** into **~/.config/systemd/user**. Create the folder if it does not exists.
4. Reload systemd: `systemctl --user daemon-reload`
## Usage
1. Create your gitlabfs config file in **~/.config/gitlabfs** eg: **~/.config/gitlabfs/gitlab.com.yaml**. Make sure the config file name ends with **.yaml** and a mountpoint is configured in the file.
2. Start your service with `systemctl --user start gitlabfs@<name of your config>.service`. eg: `systemctl --user start gitlabfs@gitlab.com.service`. Omit the **.yaml** in the name of the service.
3. Enable your service start on login with `systemctl --user enable gitlabfs@<name of your config>.service`. eg: `systemctl --user enable gitlabfs@gitlab.com.service`
