Managing mirrored repositories

A short overview of managing mirrored repositories. This assumes you have already installed gitlab-mirrors.

Create a mirror

Create a git repository mirror.

su - gitmirror
cd gitlab-mirrors
./add_mirror.sh --git --project-name someproject --mirror http://example.com/project.git

Create an SVN repository mirror.

su - gitmirror
cd gitlab-mirrors
./add_mirror.sh --svn --project-name someproject --mirror svn+ssh://user@svn.example.com/srv/repos/someproject --authors-file ./authors.txt

The --authors-file option is an optional argument.

Create a BZR repository mirror.

cd gitlab-mirrors
./add_mirror.sh --bzr --project-name someproject --mirror lp:ubuntu/hello

List all known mirrors

su - gitmirror
cd gitlab-mirrors
./ls-mirrors.sh

Delete a mirror

cd gitlab-mirrors
./delete_mirror.sh --delete someproject

cd gitlab-mirrors
./update_mirror.sh project_name
