gitlab-clone-group

Based on adroste/gitlab-clone-group

Python script to clone all GitLab projects of a group keeping the tree structure. Tested with GitLab API v4.

I found problems in some structures, where list generated by groups don't show some projects (I don't know why). So, I get all projects which user have permission and make a filter. It's not so performative, but I get all I want.

Python isn't my first language, so make comfortable to improve or submit changes.

Usage

1. Download the gitlab-clone-group.py
2. Generate a private access token with read_api and read_repository rights
3. Specify the "root" name of group. (after gitlab.com)
4. Run the script

Example:

python3 gitlab-clone-group.py --token glabc-XXX "personal/services" .
