Mirror GitHub single repos/users/orgas/starred repos to a Gitea instance

Inspiration for these scripts

• Proposal: Mirror an entire github organization into gitea organization
• This is a fork of juergenhoetzel/github2gitea-mirror
• The deletion of an organization which still contains repositories is not possible, yet:

This organization still owns one or more repositories; delete or transfer them first.

Usage

To use this script you need to install jq package on your system.

On Ubuntu 22 it can be done using this command:

sudo apt install jq

Currently, there are two scripts in this repository. One is able to create mirrors for various GitHub entities and the other is capable of deleting an entire Gitea organization with all of its repositories.

Mirroring users, organizations, repos

First, setup your environment variables like this:

• ACCESS_TOKEN is an application access token of your Gitea instance (always needed).
• GITEA_URL is the URL of your Gitea instance (without trailing slash!) (always needed).
• GITHUB_TOKEN is a personal access token for your GitHub account. It is needed in case you want to access private repos of your account/an organization.

export ACCESS_TOKEN=123
export GITEA_URL=https://gitea.example.com
export GITHUB_TOKEN=456

There are four modes of operation, which the script can print out to the console:

./github2gitea-mirror -m

Usage: ./github2gitea-mirror
   -m, --mode {org,star,repo,user}     Mode to use; either mirror an organization or mirror all starred repositories.
   -o, --org $organization             GitHub organization to mirror and/or the target organization in Gitea.
   -u, --user $github_user             GitHub user to gather the starred repositories from.
   -v, --visibility {public,private}   Visibility for the created Gitea organization.
   -r, --repo $repo_url                GitHub URL of a single repo to create a mirror for.

• --mode
  • org: Mirror a complete oranization with all its public/private repositories.
  • star: Mirror all starred repositories by user $github_user.
  • repo: Mirror a single (public or private) repository.
  • user: Mirror a complete user with all its public/private repositories.

Examples

Mirror a complete GitHub organization:

./github2gitea-mirror -m org -o $myOrga -v public -u $myGitHubUser

Mirror all starred GitHub repos of user $myGitHubUser:

./github2gitea-mirror -m star -u $myGitHubUser -o $myGiteaOrga

Mirror a single GitHub repository:

./github2gitea-mirror -m repo https://github.com/maxkratz/github2gitea-mirror -u $myGitHubUser

Mirror a complete GitHub user:

./github2gitea-mirror -m user -u $myGitHubUser

TODOs

• Mirror a complete GitHub organization
• Mirror (single) private repos
• Mirror a complete GitHub user (with all public/private repos)

Deleting Gitea organizations with all repositories

First, setup your environment variables like this:

• ACCESS_TOKEN is an application access token of your Gitea instance.
• GITEA_URL is the URL of your Gitea instance (without trailing slash!).

export ACCESS_TOKEN=123
export GITEA_URL=https://gitea.example.com

Use parameter -o to pass the Gitea organization which should get deleted to the script.

Examples

Delete the Gitea organization $myGiteaOrg:

./delete_gitea_org -o $myGiteaOrg
