Gitlab Sync

This is a helper python program which downloads remote Gitlab repo(s) with support for group / sub-groups.

The program accepts a single top-level group-id, which it will use to traverse through the sub-groups to perform agit [clone|pull] command using ssh.

Requires

• gitlab api token
• gitlab configured with ssh-key

Install

git clone git@github.com:nabadger/gitlab-sync.git
cd gitlab-sync
python3 -m pip install .

To uninstall:

python3 -m pip uninstall gitlab-sync

Run

gitlab-sync --help

usage: gitlab-sync [-h] [--group-id GROUP_ID]
                      [--local-repo-path LOCAL_REPO_PATH]
                      [--gitlab-token GITLAB_TOKEN] [--dry-run] [--no-dry-run]

optional arguments:

  --local-repo-path LOCAL_REPO_PATH
                        local repo path (clone under this dir)

Finding the Group Id on Gitlab

The Group ID can be found by navigating to the Group (or SubGroup) settings page and expanding the General settings.
