[gitlab/github] how to mirror repositories between gitlab and github
There are ways to mirror (and sync) repositories from gitlab to github and vice versa. This is a way of using the strengths of both platforms (e.g. better CI on gitlab, larger community on github, etc.).
The official documentation about mirroring from gitlab: https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/user/project/repository/mirror/
A useful guide by a developer: https://dev.to/brunorobert/github-and-gitlab-sync-44mn
Quick take-aways:
- Syncing from gitlab to github is easier (apparently can be turned on from settings in a few simple steps).
- Wikis, issues, discussions, boards will not sync between the mirrored repos.
