What is a GMA file?
A GMA file is an add-on for Garry's Mod, a physics sandbox game. It is used to modify the game's gameplay. For example, a GMA file may alter a character or item's appearance, add a new game map, or add a new game mode.

~/Program Files/Steam/steamapps/common/GarrysMod/garrysmod/addons
This allows Garry's Mod to load an apply the add-on the GMA file contains. Players can also manually create GMA files. If they do, they must also manually place the file in Garry's Mod's addons directory.
