Git Sync

A GitHub Action for syncing between two independent repositories (and independent accounts) using force push.

The modification from forked repo is to enable this to happen between seperate accounts.

Usage

GitHub Actions

# File: .github/workflows/repo-sync.yml

on: push
jobs:
  repo-sync:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
    - name: repo-sync
      uses: cortexlogic/git-sync@v1
      env:
        SOURCE_REPO: ""
        SOURCE_BRANCH: ""
        DESTINATION_REPO: ""
        DESTINATION_BRANCH: ""
        SSH_PRIVATE_KEY_SOURCE: ${{ secrets.SSH_PRIVATE_KEY_SOURCE }}
        SHH_PRIVATE_KEY_DESTINATION: ${{ secrets.SSH_PRIVATE_KEY_DESTINATION }}
      with:
        args: $SOURCE_REPO $SOURCE_BRANCH $DESTINATION_REPO $DESTINATION_BRANCH

SSH_PRIVATE_KEY can be omitted if using authenticated HTTPS repo clone urls like https://username:access_token@github.com/username/repository.git.

Advanced: Sync all branches

To Sync all branches from source to destination, use SOURCE_BRANCH: "refs/remotes/source/*" and DESTINATION_BRANCH: "refs/heads/*". But be careful, branches with the same name including master will be overwritten.

Docker

docker run --rm -e "SSH_PRIVATE_KEY_DESTINATION=$(cat ../../test_rsa)" -e "SSH_PRIVATE_KEY_SOURCE=$(cat ../../test2)" $(docker build -q .) $SOURCE_REPO $SOURCE_BRANCH $DESTINATION_REPO $DESTINATION_BRANCH
