Simple Python Script To Mirror Repository / Gist From Github To Gitea



## Why ?

I am a [data hoarder.](https://www.reddit.com/r/DataHoarder/)



I am not migrating away from GitHub because I see no reason to: the platform is very useful to me, and I’d not like to lose it. What I’m trying to accomplish is a fail-safe in case something happens to GitHub which would make me lose access, be that voluntarily or involuntarily.



## ✅  Requirements

1. Python3 -- `sudo apt-get install python3`

2. [PyGithub](https://github.com/PyGithub/PyGithub) -- `pip install PyGithub`



## ⚙️Installation



### Github Clone

Just run the below cmd in your Gitea server



    git clone https://github.com/varunsridharan/github-gitea-mirror



Or you can download the source code and install it where ever you need



## 🚀 Usage



### Github Access Token Scopes

* if you want to mirror private repos then select everything under **Repo** scope

* if you want to mirror public repos then select **repo.public_repo** scope

* if you want to mirror secret Gists then select **gist** scope



### First make sure you have updated the `config.json`



| Option | Description |

| --- | --- |

| `github.username` | Your Github Username |

| `github.accesstoken` | Your Github Account's Personal Access Token |

| - | - |

| `gitea.host` | Selfhosted Gitea URL without `/` at the end |

| `gitea.accesstoken` | Your Personal Access Token |

| `gitea.username` | Account User Name |

| `gitea.gist.prefix` | Custom Prefix For Repository When Mirroring Gists |

| `gitea.gist.surfix` | Custom Prefix For Repository When Mirroring Gists |

| - | - |

| `repomap` | Remap A Repository To Diff User |

| `blacklist` | A list of glob-expression on github full repository names to skip |

| `gistsSource` | set to true to mirror all Gists Created By You|

| `gistsStared` | set to true to mirror all Gists Stared By You|

| `repositoryStared` | set to true to mirror all Repository Stared By You |

| `repositorySource` | set to true to mirror all Repository Created By You |

| `repositoryForked` | set to true to mirror all Repository Forked By You |

| - | - |

| `local_cache.enabled` | Set to **true** to store all repostiory slugs from gitea as json |

| `local_cache.file_path` | Custom Path to store json file |



> Local Cache can come handly when running this script via cron

> which reduces api request your selfhosted gitea instance



### Run cmd & Wait



    $ python3 mirror.py



## Cron Setup

1. Run `crontab -e`

2. `mkdir $HOME/mirrorLogs -p`

3. `/usr/bin/python3 $HOME/github-to-gitea-mirror/mirror.py > $HOME/mirrorLogs/`date +\%Y-\%m-\%d-\%H-\%M-\%S`.log 2>&1`
