Git Mirror Script

gitMirror.sh

#!/bin/bash

# This script is designed to add a target remote to your Git repository and then
# force-push all branches and tags to this target. It's particularly useful for
# mirroring or backing up repositories. The script prompts for the target's username,
# personal access token, and repository URL. Be cautious with force-pushing as it
# can overwrite changes in the target repository.

# Bash script to add a remote and force-push all branches and tags

# Prompt for target username
read -p "Enter the username for the target repository: " INPUT_TARGET_USERNAME

# Prompt for target token
# Note: It's generally unsafe to enter tokens directly. Consider reading from a file or environment variable in a secure setup.
read -s -p "Enter the personal access token for the target repository: " INPUT_TARGET_TOKEN
echo

# Prompt for target URL
read -p "Enter the target repository URL (https://github.com/username/repo): " INPUT_TARGET_URL

# Add the remote target
git remote add target https://${INPUT_TARGET_USERNAME}:${INPUT_TARGET_TOKEN}@${INPUT_TARGET_URL#https://}

# Check if remote add was successful
if [ $? -eq 0 ]; then
    echo "Remote 'target' added successfully."
else
    echo "Failed to add remote 'target'. Exiting script."
    exit 1

# Force push all branches to the target
echo "Pushing all branches to the target..."
git push -f --all target

# Force push all tags to the target
echo "Pushing all tags to the target..."
git push -f --tags target
