- The installation takes multiple manual steps that together can take about an hour depending on circumstances. We are working on improving this experience. See [Omnibus GitLab issue #2978](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/omnibus-gitlab/-/issues/2978) for details.

Geo will trigger garbage collection in Gitaly to [deduplicate forked repositories](../../../development/git_object_deduplication.md#git-object-deduplication-and-gitlab-geo) on Geo secondary sites.
Communication is done via Gitaly's own gRPC API. There are three possible ways of synchronization:
