I would suggest:-
* copy off all the git repos - make sure they are out of harms way
* going back to your most recent gitlab backup (you may need to build
a server with matching gitlab version)
* upgrade to current
* work through all the repos pushing the contents to the new gitlab
instance
* you may have lost some recent updates outside of the git repos
If you do not have a gitlab backup then that is probably a warning in
itself.
In that case reimporting all the repos anew is the best you can do most
likely.
In any case make sure you save the state of the damaged system somewhere
offline (different server, USB disk etc) before fiddling.
Everyone else: check your backups. Ask what your disaster recovery plan
is for something that is likely to be a core part of your team's value.
