A tool for selectively mirroring Git repositories.
git-collage was created to fill my desire to backup my own Git repos and mirror the parts of 3rd party repos I care about.
To this end the key features this tool has are:
- Ability to discover repositories (currently only from GitHub, but more can be added easily)
- Ability to filter refs that are mirrored, preventing "useless" refs being created locally (e.g. feature branches, GitHub PR merge commits)
- Is a single binary that can be scheduled via cron or systemd (personally I did not want to run a service for what is essentially a time scheduled backup job)
See git-collage --help for syntax and examples for a sample configuration file.
Things to note:
- Console output below INFO level may contain sensitive information (e.g. Github tokens).
- GitHub tokens must be generated with the
reposcope.
