 [GitLab](https://gitlab.com) is a web-based Git repository manager similar to [GitHub](https://github.com). GitLab can be self-hosted and we do just that with <https://gitlab.opengeosys.org>. For the moment all OGS repositories are still hosted at [github.com/ufz](https://github.com/ufz) but we store benchmark data files on our own GitLab because of storage limits on GitHub.
 
-To submit a PR containing also new benchmark files (or in general: containing files tracked by `git-lfs`) you need an account on our GitLab server.

 ## Setup an account

   - You will be redirected to GitHub (please login there) and asked for authorization.
   - Your new user account will be blocked at first, please let us know we will unblock it
 - Once unblocked, on the [ogs group page](https://gitlab.opengeosys.org/ogs) click the button `Request access`. We will then give access to the repo. If the button is not there we already gave you access.
-- Create a [GitLab personal access token](https://gitlab.opengeosys.org/profile/personal_access_tokens), enable the following scopes: `api`, `read_user`. This is the password you have to use when pushing a PR which also contains `git-lfs`-tracked files. Your user name is the same as your GitHub user name.
-- For caching credentials you may want to use a [git credential helper](https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/workflow/lfs/manage_large_binaries_with_git_lfs.html#credentials-are-always-required-when-pushing-an-object).

 Members of the Department Environmental Informatics of the Helmholtz Centre for Environmental Research - UFZ can use the `envinf1`-machine which is tightly connected to the Eve cluster system.
 
+::: {.note}
+On envinf1 the installed git module (2.10) is over 2 years old and we recommend using a newer module (especially when you have problems with fetching or checking out of Git LFS files):

+```bash
+ml use /global/apps/modulefiles
+ml git/2.20.1
