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

Delete a mirror

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

Update a mirror

su - gitmirror
cd gitlab-mirrors
./update_mirror.sh project_name

Update all known mirrors

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

Updating all known mirrors is also meant to be used with crontab.
