Is Sync specific to Visual Studio?

• insomniacity 9y ago
  Visual Studio uses Sync to refer to git push and pull, as far as I can tell. (I avoid it and use the command line). In this context I think they're referring to tools to automatically sync your git/wiki/releases etc from Github to other platforms like Gitlab.

    Repos can be mirrored by just adding another origin, can't they? The others, though, yeah. Those are handy.

      Not exactly - you can then push all branches and they will be the same but then if the source repo changes you need to manually push for you. True sync would do this for you, along with ideally issues/wiki/etc.

        > if the source repo changes you need to manually push Gitlab definitely does this automatically for you if you mirror the repository. Or am I misunderstanding how this feature works?

          Github does not

            > to other platforms like Gitlab This made me think the gp was referring to Gitlab (pull sync) but you're right, they may have meant Github (push sync).
