Short info
This article will tell you how to easily share your GitLab project (as a mirror) with other code management platforms.
Throughout this tutorial we are using public repository at following location: https://github.com/mkopsnc/beaver. However, you can use any other repository.
1. Set up a push mirror from GitLab to GitHub
1.1. Create personal access token
Before you can proceed with the setup of mirror, you have to create personal access token:
- Github - how to create personal access token at Github
- Gitlab - how to create personal access token at Gitlab
- Bitbucket - how to create personal access token at Bitbucket
1.2. Set up a push mirror on gitlab.eufus.psnc.pl
- Log in to gitlab.eufus.psnc.pl
- On the top bar, select Menu > Projects and find your project
On the left sidebar, select Settings > Repository
- Expand Mirroring repositories
Enter a Git repository URL
Enter a Git repository URL with this format:
If you have Github repo - https://<your_github_username>@github.com/<github_group>/<github_project>.gitIf you have Gitlab repo - https://<your_gitlab_username>@gitlab.com/<gitlab_group>/<gitlab_project>.gitIf you have Bitbucket repo - https://<your_bitbucket_username>@bitbucket.com/<bitbucket_group>/<bitbucket_project>.git
- For Password, enter your GitHub personal access token
Select Mirror repository
The mirrored repository is listed. For example:
2. How to synchronise with GitHub?
- Make some code changes on GitLab and commit it
- Log in to gitlab.eufus.psnc.pl
- On the top bar, select Menu > Projects and find your project
On the left sidebar, select Settings > Repository
- Expand Mirroring repositories
And click refresh button Udpdate now
Such information should appear on the website:
"The remote repository is being updated..."
- Check your repository on github. Changes should be already pushed from ACH GitLab
3. How to synchronise ITER repository with Gitlab?
Synchronise with hoos
Special thanks goes to Karel van de Plassche for providing these steps
Push plugin at ITER is based on: https://github.com/ef-labs/stash-hook-mirror/wiki
- Check the push permissions in
Settings > Repository > Protected Branches (by default "Maintainer") - Create a Project Access Token in
Settings > Access Tokens. I've given it full permissions (everything ticked). Also put the expiry time on something sane (by default 4 weeks - I just put infinite) and put the role to the permissions of step 1.
- Fill in the screen below:
- Mirror Repo Url needs to be HTTPS, e.g.
https://gitlab.eufus.psnc.pl/imas/imaspy.git - Username can be anything, as we're using tokens
- Password the token generated in step 2
Refspeccan be the default; this brings expected behaviour, e.g. afull mirror- Keep all boxes ticked
