Push a folder of git repos from a Gitlab backup back into a Gitlab server

push.sh

#!/bin/bash

# This script is a utility to re-import repos from a Gitlab backup
# A gitlab backup is a .tar file, usually named something like:
#    111111111_gitlab_backup.tar
# When extracted, there is a repositories/ directory inside of it
# inside repositories/ is a folder for each user and group in
# Gitlab which had a project at the time of export.
# This script is designed to be run inside of the a user/group
# directory, and it will automatically reimport all the projects
# into Gitlab.
# *Note*: User or group must exist inside the new gitlab

# exit this script if anything fails
set -e

# define the namespace to import everything into
gitlab="https://gitlab.com"

# default the group to the name of the current directory
group=${PWD##*/}

# determine the group id, from https://gitlab.com/api/v3/groups
group_id=7

# get a gitlab token from https://gitlab.com/profile/personal_access_tokens
token=""
