+### Enable usernames and namespaces for user projects
+
+This command will enable the namespace feature introduced in v4.0. It will move every project in its namespace folder.
+
+Note:
+
+* Because the **repository location will change**, you will need to **update all your git url's** to point to the new location.
+* Username can be changed at [Profile / Account](/profile/account)
+
+**Example:**
+
+Old path: `git@example.org:myrepo.git`
+New path: `git@example.org:username/myrepo.git` or `git@example.org:groupname/myrepo.git`
+
+```
+bundle exec rake gitlab:activate_namespaces
+```
+
+
+### Enable auto merge
+
+This command will enable the auto merge feature. After this you will be able to **merge a merge request** via GitLab and use the **online editor**.
+
+```
+bundle exec rake gitlab:app:enable_automerge
+```
+
+Example output:
+
+```
+Creating satellite for abcd.git
+[git clone output]
+Creating satellite for abcd2.git
