Copy GitHub stars to GitLab #109

Closed pawamoy closed 5 years ago

pawamoy commented 6 years ago

I wrote a small Bash script to copy the stars you gave from GitHub to GitLab :slightly_smiling_face: Of course the repositories you starred must exist on GitLab on the same namespace and with the same name (both case-insensitive).

https://gitlab.com/snippets/1721089

I've wrote it because I love GitLab (I'm a fan of all-in-one) and I wanted to bring a bit of GitHub's great community to GitLab. One of the ways is using stars. Also I simply want to enjoy my starred list on GitLab.

If someone wants to improve it or integrate in some bigger project, I don't mind it.

I posted here because I think it can help in transitioning (or simply mirroring) from GitHub to something else, for people interested. Surely the script can be adapted to other centralized Git services.

Actually I rewrote it in Python :grinning: More robust and cross-platform :slightly_smiling_face:

Hey @Pawamoy. I love the work you've been doing. Not everyone loves mine. Please read Issue 114.

This brought to mind a deficiency in Gitlab. There is no way there (at present) to star a snippet or track changes in them using Git. See https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/issues/47557.

Hello,

The GitHub Evacuation Project has moved to GitLab (not an endorsement or even a final home). Your enthusiasm and contribution is still needed. Please check out the new project home, and read the project wiki for info to get restarted.

Thank you!
