# Moving Stars
[](https://github.com/pawamoy/moving-stars/actions?query=workflow%3Aci)
[](https://pawamoy.github.io/moving-stars/)
[](https://pypi.org/project/moving-stars/)
:star: Star on GitLab.com the same repos your starred on GitHub.com! :stars:
Namespace and project name must be the same on GitHub and GitLab.
Case is insensitive though :+1:!
## Requirements
Moving Stars requires Python 3.6 or above.
To install Python 3.6, I recommend using pyenv.
```bash
# install pyenv
git clone https://github.com/pyenv/pyenv ~/.pyenv
# setup pyenv (you should also put these three lines in .bashrc or similar)
export PATH="${HOME}/.pyenv/bin:${PATH}"
export PYENV_ROOT="${HOME}/.pyenv"
eval "$(pyenv init -)"
# install Python 3.6
pyenv install 3.6.12
# make it available globally
pyenv global system 3.6.12
```
## Installation
With `pip`:
```bash
python3.6 -m pip install moving-stars
```
With [`pipx`](https://github.com/pipxproject/pipx):
```bash
python3.6 -m pip install --user pipx
pipx install --python python3.6 moving-stars
```
## Usage
### Bash
```bash
export GITHUB_TOKEN=
export GITLAB_TOKEN=
moving-stars
```
### Docker
```bash
docker run -e GITHUB_TOKEN= -e GITLAB_TOKEN= --rm pawamoy/moving-stars
```
### Tokens
- [Create a new GitHub token](https://github.com/settings/tokens/new) with `read:user` scope.
- [Create a new GitLab token](https://gitlab.com/profile/personal_access_tokens) with `api` scope.
### Input file
A file containing the list of starred repositories that you want to copy on GitLab.
The format of the input file is very simple.
```
namespace/repository
namespace2/repository2
...
```
Example:
```
microsoft/ghcrawler-cli
github/VisualStudio
Pawamoy/moving-stars
this-repo/does-not-exist
cryptsetup/cryptsetup
```
### Other options
```console
$ moving-stars -h
usage: moving-stars [-h] [-f FROM_FILE] [--no-pre-skip]
Command line tool to copy GitHub stars to GitLab.
optional arguments:
-h, --help show this help message and exit
-f FROM_FILE, --from-file FROM_FILE
Read star list from file.
-o OUTPUT_SOURCE_LIST, --output-source-list OUTPUT_SOURCE_LIST
Output downloaded source list to file.
--no-pre-skip Don't download list from target to skip already
starred projects.
```
It can be useful to first download your starred list, update it manually
(to correct unmatching namespaces / project names),
and then star on GitLab with this list:
```bash
moving-stars -o star_list
# edit file manually...
moving-stars -f star_list
```
