mirror-sync

Synchronizing mirrored repositories bidirectionally

Setup

This action assume that you have a repository on a remote location and that you want to synchronize it with mirror on GitHub.

Step 1

Create a repository on GitHub

Step 2

Mirror the repository following these steps.

Step 3

In the repository on GitHub, add this GitHub Actions workflow by adding a mirror-sync.yml file to .github/workflows:

name: Mirror Sync

on:
  workflow_dispatch:
  push:
  schedule:
    - cron: '*/5 * * * *'

jobs:
  mirror-sync:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest

    steps:
      - name: Perform mirror sync
        uses: ActionsDesk/mirror-sync@main
        with:
          remote-repository-url: https://${{ secrets.REMOTE_AUTHENTICATION_TOKEN }}@example.com/remote-repository.git

If you want to authenticate to the remote repository via HTTPS and an authentication token, add it to the remote-repository-url as in the example above. If you want to use basic authentication, you can pass the user and password like so:

remote-repository-url: https://${{ secrets.REMOTE_AUTHENTICATION_USER }}:${{ secrets.REMOTE_AUTHENTICATION_PASSWORD }}@example.com/remote-repository

If you want to use SSH for autentication, use an action that sets up the SSH key, unless you are using a self-hosted runner that already has SSH keys set up.
