If you have many mirrors to sync, you may like to use sync-my-git-mirror.sh which makes life easier.

⚠️ You need to change the MIRROR and REPO_PATH variables before using sync-my-git-mirror.sh:

# Mirror repo URL for the repo name
MIRROR="git@github.com:ElfSundae/$REPO_NAME.git"
# The default local path to clone the source repo
REPO_PATH="/data/mirrors/$REPO_NAME"

Examples:

# Sync the current working repo
sync-my-git-mirror.sh .

# Sync a local repo with different name
sync-my-git-mirror.sh ~/path/to/repo RepoName

# Sync a remote repo, clone to the default path
sync-my-git-mirror.sh git://path/to/repo.git

# Sync a remote repo with different name, clone to the default path
sync-my-git-mirror.sh git://path/to/repo.git RepoName
