mirror_all_githubRepo_to_Gitlab.MD
  • proposal:
    • doesnt use gitlab pull mirror or github action to push
      • approach 0: a script in a server periodically pulling the change from all github repo to local from github and pushing to gitlab.
        • problems
          • required the server to be always running, and it has to contains all the github repos in drive.
    • use gitlab pull mirror:
    • use github action to act like a push mirror:
      • approach 2: a server constantly running to check if any GitHub repo doesnt has a counter part in Gitlab, if found, create a GitLab repo, add a gitHub action by api to that GitHub repository that is set to push the change to the newly created gitlab repo.
        • advantage:
          • all old repository and new repository in Github will be linked to gitlab.
        • problems:
          • since the server has to add a github action, it means that it has write permission to all github repository, if the server is hacked, hacker could add any commit or change commit history.
          • the github action will have write permission to counterpart gitlab repository
            • possibly by ssh key set in github secret
              • so the secret has to be added by api also, but seems such api doesnt exist yet github secret api
