Github to Gitlab mirror repository in PHP

The idea here is to mirror the repository using crontab every minute.

• As you all know about Free Gitlab Mirror Support Ended on March 22 for external Repositories.
• Now in new premium update gitlab had stopped the mirroring of external repository making it's a premium feature, so this is a replication of that feature.

Installation

Just make sure you have self hosted server or local linux environment.

Also make sure you have Github and Gitlab ssh installed.

• Set crontab -e

* * * * * sh /path/to/mirror.sh >/dev/null 2>&1

• Edit mirror.php and set appropriate git ssh config for repository on line number 19 and 22

Any cause of failure on self-hosted server:

• The public ssh key of www-data should have read and write access to source repository.
• If the SSH server is not trusted the connection will fail.
• To avoid non trusted connection to server, run ssh -T [email protected] and ssh -T [email protected] at least once to get its fingerprint into the local SSH configuration or hosted server ssh configuration.
