Add Rake Tasks

1. Go to gitlab's task folder. Something like cd /home/git/gitlab/lib/tasks
2. Download rake task file by running

wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/rahul286/gitlab-bulk-delete-users/master/bulk_delete.rake

3. Open file in editor vim bulk_delete.rake
4. Change domain from example.com to yourdoamin.com
5. Comment out abort(...) Line#12.

Run Task

sudo -u git -H bundle exec rake gitlab:cleanup:delete_users_except_email_domain RAILS_ENV=production

Notes

This rake task...

1. will NOT touch users if they are admin OR have email address ending in your domain.
2. will DELETE users if they have 0 project AND 0 issue AND 0 note.
3. will BLOCK users if they have any single project OR issue OR note attached.

P.S. I forgot to test if user has snippets while cleaning our Gitlab. But I am 99.999999% sure that no deleted user has ever created any snippet. You will find some codes commented towards end. I ran a for loop on events to verify some users.

I also deleted all users who never logged in. Line#14-15
