A GitHub Action that mirrors all commits to GitLab, triggers GitLab CI, and returns the results back to GitHub.
This is an example of a pipeline that uses this action:
name: Mirror
on: [push]
jobs:
build:
runs-on: ubuntu-latest
steps:
- uses: actions/checkout@v1
- name: Mirror
uses: austinwilcox/gitlab-mirror-and-ci-action@master
with:
args: "https://gitlab.com/<namespace>/<repository>"
env:
FOLLOW_TAGS: "false"
FORCE_PUSH: "false"
GITLAB_HOSTNAME: "gitlab.com"
GITLAB_USERNAME: "austinwilcox21"
GITLAB_PASSWORD: ${{ secrets.GITLAB_PASSWORD }} // Generate here: https://gitlab.com/profile/personal_access_tokensBe sure to define the GITLAB_PASSWORD secret in https://github.com/<namespace>/<repository>/settings/secrets
Before setup a token to use as GITLAB_PASSWORD here https://gitlab.com/profile/personal_access_tokens
The token must have read_api, read_repository & write_repository permissions in GitLab.
For granular permissions create seperate users and tokens in GitLab with restricted access.
If you're rewriting history in the primary repo (e.g by using git rebase), you'll need to force push. Set the FORCE_PUSH environment variable to true to enable this. This will overwrite history in the mirror as well, so be careful with this (just like any time you're using git push --force).
If you want to mirror repository tags too, you can define FOLLOW_TAGS environment variable to true.
My version here does not check pipeline runs, I gutted that out of the code, this will be used just for mirroring code from github over to gitlab as a backup.
My modifications revolve around just the entrypoint.sh file.
