Worth noting, it’s also possible (and quite easy) to do this vice versa. When you want a private fork of a public repo on github, it can be useful to mirror it to a private repository on GitLab. GL will keep all commits up to date for you.
(Ironically, there is nothing comparable on GitHub’s platform. You cannot make a fork that keeps itself up to date, for example.)
Here is how to do it: https://gist.github.com/milesrichardson/b00e2623e5f4427ec192b1f632c3c7dc https://gist.github.com/milesrichardson/b00e2623e5f4427ec192...
- mroche 7y agoVery interesting use case for the mirroring feature. It really is super helpful and powerful. Though currently pull mirrors show as activity contributions, so if you mirror a large, active project your commit activity graph will go through the roof (if you care about that sort of thing).
