glab repo mirror [ID | URL | PATH] [flags]

Configure repository mirroring for an existing GitLab project.

The GitLab project must already exist. This command configures mirroring on existing projects but does not create new projects.

Mirror types:

• Pull mirror: Syncs changes from an external repository to your GitLab project. The external repository is the source of truth. Use pull mirrors to sync from GitHub, Bitbucket, or other GitLab instances.
• Push mirror: Syncs changes from your GitLab project to an external repository. Your GitLab project is the source of truth. Use push mirrors to sync to GitHub, Bitbucket, or other GitLab instances.

Authentication:

• For pull mirrors from private repositories, embed credentials in the URL: https://username:token@gitlab.example.com/org/repo
• For push mirrors to private repositories, configure credentials in the GitLab UI or use SSH URLs with deploy keys.

--allow-divergence[=false] Determines if divergent refs are skipped.

--direction="pull" Mirror direction. Options: pull, push.

--enabled[=true] Determines if the mirror is enabled.

--protected-branches-only[=false] Determines if only protected branches are mirrored.

--url="" The target URL to which the repository is mirrored.

-h, --help[=false] Show help for this command.
