Mirror repo to GitLab

This repo contains a reusable Github Actions workflow that mirrors the current repo to GitLab.

To use it for mirroring a new repo:

• Manually create a corresponding empty repo in GitLab

• Delete the main branch in the new repo (make it unprotected first)

• Manually clone the repo from GitHub:

git clone --mirror <github_repo_web_URL>
cd <repo_name>.git
git push --mirror <gitlab_repo_web_URL>

• Set secrets GITLAB_USER and GITLAB_PASSWORD in your GitHub repo

• In the GitHub repo create .github/workflows/mirror_repo_to_gitlab.yml with the following content:

name: Mirror repo to GitLab

on: [push, pull_request, delete]

jobs:
  call-nss-ops-mirror-workflow:
    uses: Nunkyl/test-nss-ops/.github/workflows/mirror-repo.yml@main
    with:
      GITLAB_URL: <gitlab_repo_web_URL>
    secrets:
      GITLAB_USER: ${{ secrets.GITLAB_USER }}
      GITLAB_PASSWORD: ${{ secrets.GITLAB_PASSWORD }}

• Make sure to set the GITLAB_URL var

Every push to the repo will trigger the action, it will automatically synchronize commits and branches. PRs, issues and wikis will NOT be mirrored.
