Description

This script mirrors automatically the public repositories from a github-user or github-organization to your gitea server. It will - once started - create a mirrored repository under a given token for a gitea user fully automatically.

Example: A github user github-user has public repositories dotfiles and zsh-config. Starting the script with a gitea token for the account gitea-user will create the following mirror repositories:

• github.com/github-user/dotfiles ← some-gitea.url/gitea-user/dotfiles
• github.com/github-user/zsh-config ← some-gitea.url/zsh-config/dotfiles

The mirror settings are default by your gitea instance.

Prerequisites

• Something to mirror (a github user or organization with public repos)
• Gitea instance up and running
• User for Gitea with generated token
• Docker

 -d \
 --restart always \
 -e GITHUB_USERNAME=github-user \
 -e GITEA_URL=https://some-gitea.url \
 -e GITEA_TOKEN=please-exchange-with-token \
 jaedle/mirror-to-gitea:latest
