git-mirror - simple Git mirrors

git-mirror is designed to create and serve read-only mirrors of your Git repositories locally or wherever you choose. A recent GitHub outage reinforces the fact that developers shouldn't be relying on a single remote for hosting code.

A major design goal of git-mirror is that it should just work with as little configuration as possible.

Get started

Download and extract the latest release from the releases page.

Create config.toml similar to:

[[repo]]
Origin = "https://github.com/beefsack/git-mirror.git"

By default it will update the mirror every 15 minutes and will serve the mirror over HTTP using port 8080. You can specify as many repos as you want by having multiple [[repo]] sections.

Run git-mirror with the path to the config file:

$ ./git-mirror config.toml
2015/05/07 11:08:06 starting web server on :8080
2015/05/07 11:08:06 updating github.com/beefsack/git-mirror.git
2015/05/07 11:08:08 updated github.com/beefsack/git-mirror.git

Now you can clone from your mirror on the default port of 8080:

$ git clone http://localhost:8080/github.com/beefsack/git-mirror.git
Cloning into 'git-mirror'...
Checking connectivity... done.

Advanced configuration

See the example config for more advanced configurations.

Authentication and authorisation

If you wish to control access to the mirror or specific repositories, consider proxying to git-mirror using a web server such as Nginx.
