+Gitaly must trigger some callbacks to GitLab via GitLab Shell. As a result, 
+the GitLab Shell secret must be the same between the other GitLab servers and
+the Gitaly server. The easiest way to accomplish this is to copy `/etc/gitlab/gitlab-secrets.json`
+from an existing GitLab server to the Gitaly server. Without this shared secret,
+Git operations in GitLab will result in an API error.

 different than `path` in `git_data_dirs` of Omnibus installations. Check the
 directory layout on your Gitaly server to be sure.
