What is the current behaviour?

It is often beneficial to host material on GitHub, for added external engagement. The recommenced way of doing this is to mirror your GitLab repository to GitHub. We should write guidance on how to do this.

What is the expected/preferred behaviour?

@ndcn1032 , where do you think this would sit in the existing gitlab documentation/guides??

Hi @cassag, I think I would put it at the end of the tutorials as it's arguably a more advanced topic ... i.e. under Git and GitLab -> Tutorials -> "6.1 Mirroring to GitHub" ??

If you agree, I'm happy to write a quick guide and put it there.

That sounds like a perfect place, thank you!

Sorry I forgot about your earlier #42 (closed)! Should have searched first!!

The guide is now live at https://open.win.ox.ac.uk/pages/open-science/community/Open-WIN-Community/docs/gitlab/6-1-mirroring-to-github/
