RepoSync

You can configure one or more platforms as source to mirror the structure from the remote server onto your local system (repositories will be moved if necessary). You can use complex rules to include or exclude projects based on the namespace or other properties.

Configuration

# yaml-language-server: $schema=https://raw.githubusercontent.com/cidverse/reposync/main/configschema/v1.json
servers:
  - url: https://github.com
    type: github
    auth:
      username: YourAccount
      password: <readOnlyPersonalAccessToken>
      password-file: /path/to/file
    mirror:
      dir: /tmp/github
      default-action: exclude
      naming-style: slug
      rules:
        - rule: group == "my-org"
          action: include

The configuration is read from ~/.config/reposync/config.yaml by default, but you can also specify a custom path by setting the REPOSYNC_CONFIG environment variable.

Supported platforms:

• github
• gitlab

The git commands will use your local git installation, so you can use ssh keys or other authentication methods. The personal access tokens are only used to query the repositories you have access to and not to clone them.

Installation

curl -L -o ~/.local/bin/reposync https://github.com/cidverse/reposync/releases/download/v0.5.0/linux_amd64
chmod +x ~/.local/bin/reposync

Usage

Clone

reposync clone will clone all repositories you have access to into the target directory, keeping the remote structure as close as possible.

Notes:

• tracked repositories might be moved to track the remote structure changes (<namespace>/<projectName>).

Pull

reposync pull will pull the latest changes for all tracked repositories.

• git fetch
• git pull --ff-only

List

reposync list will list all tracked repositories.

Additional options:

• --format (-f) -> specify the output format (table, json, csv, ...)
• --columns (-c) -> filter output by columns

HouseKeeping

reposync housekeeping (reposync hk) will run the following tasks for all repositories:

• repack -> git repack -a -d --write-bitmap-index
• prune -> git prune --expire now
• gc -> git gc --auto
• fsck -> git fsck --full --unreachable --strict
• commit-graph -> git commit-graph write --reachable

You can choose to only run a subset of the tasks by specifying them as arguments. For example, reposync hk --jobs repack prune.

Index

This is work-in-progress and not yet implemented.

Before your first run, you can use reposync index /old-project-dir, to add your local projects to the known repositories. When running reposync clone, it will then move the projects to the new location, instead of cloning them.

Rules

Rules support the following variables to match against:

Variable	Example	Description
uniqueId	github-com/123456	The unique id of the project
id	123456	The id of the project
group	my-org	The group / namespace the project is in
name	my-project	The name of the project
path	my-org/my-project	The full path of the project
is_fork	false	Whether the project is a fork

Rules follow the Common Expression Language syntax.
