GITMIRROR

This repo is a mirror of various repositories that I want to keep track of. I realized that git, w/ it’s inharently dedupability, and the ability to store many trees in a single repo, that it’d be easy to create a repo that regularly clones/mirrors other source repos. Not only this, but the state of the tags and branches can be archived on a daily basis, consuming very little space.

The main reason that I want this is from a supply chain availability perspective. As a consumer of source, it isn’t always guaranteed that the project you depend upon will continue to exist in the future. It could also be that older version are removed, etc.

Process

  1. Repo will self update main to get latest repos/code to mirror.
  2. Fetch the repos to mirror into their respective date tagged tags/branches.
  3. Push the tags/branches to the parent.
  4. Repeate
