Feature Request: Mirror to GitLab

[larsassink]

Hi,

Not sure if you are willing to work on this but it would also be nice to mirror GitHub to your self hosted GitLab instances.

Hi @larsassink Thank you for the suggestion. I have been thinking about it. Will see if I get some time next week will try to pick it up. But it will require some significant work.

Awesome, would be super nice to have! I wish I could help you out but limited knowledge...

Another nice enhancement related to this could be to support mirroring of generic git repositories.
That way you can have a baseline that works with everything and eventually add platform specific issues and API's on top.

@ArmainAP I was also going to open a feature request for that but as u already commented here, this is the information i have collected till now.

There's a PR ongoing in gitea go-gitea/gitea#20311 they also do same things, Still i would like to use this project more in future also.

To differentiate we can add somthing like https://github.com/jonasrosland/gitmirror but very basic , Just a way to insert generic git url(Gitlab,Bitbucket,etc) and rest logic is already in our project. Initially we should only support only for public repos.

As i believe to support private ones and others it will take a big code change and that will be too hard on @arunavo4 (Except community themselves send PR) also adding too many platforms means too many bugs,time to fix them,etc

Yea I am happy to add well tested comminuty PR's. But the more we add more testing is needed.
