cp systemd-service/gitlab_monitor.service ~/.config/systemd/user

sed -i -- 's?GITLAB_MONITOR_DIR?'`pwd`'?g' ~/.config/systemd/user/gitlab_monitor.service

systemctl --user enable gitlab_monitor

There are two starters prepared in 'windows-starter' directory:

1. windows-starter/gitlab_monitor.bat - runs app in command line window
2. windows-starter/start_in_backgroud.vbs - runs above batch file in the background

To add it to windows autostart create a shortcut of start_in_background.vbs file, and move it to startup folder. Startup folder can be opened by running shell:startup in windows 'run' window. In general it is located in C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup.
