+This assumes you have already satisfied all [prerequisites](prerequisites.md).  You can manage gitlab-mirrors in one of two ways.  You can use your own user using your own GitLab private token.  Or you can use a dedicated system user and gitmirror user whose only purpose is to mirror repositories.  The former can be done by any user where the latter requires administrator privileges in GitLab.

+Your steps will be similar to using a dedicated `gitmirror` user.  Set up your SSH keys; copy `config.sh` and configure it; use your own system cron job to synchronize mirrors on a schedule.  There are a few caveats to using your own user instead of a dedicated administrator.

This means that if you wish to mirror projects in namespaces other than your own username then you will have to first manually create the mirror in GitLab and then run the `add_mirror.sh` command (see Managing repositories).
+2. You user will include mirror pushes in your user statistics.
