Restore individual repository from Gitlab backup file

Question

I'm trying to restore only 1 repository from complete gitlab backup file .

I'm using gitlab-rake for backup my repositories .

Backup command :

sudo gitlab-rake gitlab:backup:create

How i can restore from this tar file only 1 repository ?

more Info :

Gitlab version : GitLab Enterprise Edition 7.13.5-ee

Thanks , Amit

there is a [comment](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/issues/2397#note_2006913) in the forum that says, this is currently not possible - maybe [this post](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/28838451/restore-gitlab-backup-repository-bundle-file-with-all-branches) helps — michabbb, Nov 08 '15 at 21:40

You can check this one: backup restore

so you can use parameter before you backup the repository.

It is for total Gitlab backup, not for individual repository – Rajana Deepak May 29 '18 at 06:34

There is now an officially documented way/workaround to restore only one or a few project(s) or group(s).

Essentially: Restore the full .tar backup into a temp instance, then use the built-in ex- & import functions from there.
