Repositories

Repositories is a gem implementing a repupdate command that synchronizes a set of repositories on Git hosts (GitLab, GitHub, Gitea) to a set of destination Git hosts (currently, only GitLab and Gitea).

Matching repositories accross hosts is based on lowercased repository names. Any difference in branch HEADS will trigger an update from the source repository to the backup repositories.

If a repository is present in multiple source repositories, the one with the most recent branch head will be chosen as the source for the copy to the backup hosts.

Installation

Installation as a Gem is not supported yet because of hardcoded dependencies in the Gemfile. Instead, clone this repository and run bundle to install the dependencies.

Usage

Setup the hosts as follows in a file called hosts.yml:

---
hosts:
  - type: github
    username: **insert username**
    token: **insert private token**
    use_as: source
    exclude:
      - some-repository # don't backup this
  - type: gitlab
    base: https://[gitlab-api-domain]/api/v4
    username: **insert username**
    token: **insert private token**
    use_as: backup

Then, run the repupdate command. Note that SSH keys must have been configured for the automatic update to succeed.

$ bundle exec repupdate --hosts hosts.yml [--force]
