+# Listing repository directories
+
+You can print a list of all Git repositories on disk managed by
+GitLab with the following command:
+
+```
+# Omnibus
+sudo gitlab-rake gitlab:list_repos
+
+# Source
+cd /home/git/gitlab
+sudo -u git -H bundle exec rake gitlab:list_repos RAILS_ENV=production
+```
+
+If you only want to list projects with recent activity you can pass
+a date with the 'SINCE' environment variable.  The time you specify
+is parsed by the Rails [TimeZone#parse
+function](http://api.rubyonrails.org/classes/ActiveSupport/TimeZone.html#method-i-parse).
+
+```
+# Omnibus
+sudo gitlab-rake gitlab:list_repos SINCE='Sep 1 2015'
+
+# Source
+cd /home/git/gitlab
+sudo -u git -H bundle exec rake gitlab:list_repos RAILS_ENV=production SINCE='Sep 1 2015'
+```
+
+Note that the projects listed are NOT sorted by activity; they use
+the default ordering of the GitLab Rails application.
