Simplest tool to maintain local mirrors of git repos?
fedilink

I want to have a local mirror/proxy for some repos I’m using.

The idea is having something I can point my reads to so that I’m free to migrate my upstream repositories whenever I want and also so that my stuff doesn’t stop working if some of the jankiest third-party repos I use disappears.

I know the various forjego/gitea/gitlab/… (well, at least some of them - I didn’t check the specifics) have pull mirroring, but I’m looking for something simpler… ideally something with a single config file where I list what to mirror and how often to update and which then allows anonymous read access over the network.

Does anything come to mind?

Assuming you have all of them under a folder, I just run this lol

for f in *; do
    echo "$f";
    git -C "$f" pull;
    git -C "$f" submodule update --recursive --remote;
    echo "";
    echo "#########################################################################";
    echo "";
done
