repligit

repligit is a Python library that implements the Git transfer protocol. It enables users to query remote repositories, mirror repositories between two locations without storing state locally, and incrementally archive repositories to disk. repligit is used by Hubcast to mirror repositories from GitHub to GitLab for secure CI/CD on local hardware.

Installation

You can install repligit from PyPI using pip:

pip install repligit

Features

• Query remote Git repositories.
• Mirror repositories between different Git hosting services.
• Incrementally archive repositories to disk.
• Implements Git transfer protocol in pure Python.

Example Usage

from repligit import fetch_pack, ls_remote, send_pack


def main():
    src_remote_url = "https://github.com/spack/spack.git"
    dest_remote_url = "https://gitlab.com/test-org/test-repo.git"

    branch_name = "main"

    target_ref = f"refs/heads/{branch_name}"

    # Authentication credentials
    # Note: Only provide credentials when authentication is required
    # src_username = "<username>"  # Uncomment if source repo requires auth
    # src_password = "<token>"     # Uncomment if source repo requires auth
    dest_username = "<username>"   # For destination repo write access
    dest_password = "<token>"      # For destination repo write access

    # List references from source repository (without authentication)
    gh_refs = ls_remote(src_remote_url)

    # List references from destination repository (with authentication)
    gl_refs = ls_remote(
        dest_remote_url,
        username=dest_username,
        password=dest_password
    )

    want_sha = gh_refs[target_ref]
    have_shas = gl_refs.values()

    from_sha = gl_refs.get(target_ref) or ("0" * 40)

    if want_sha in have_shas:
        print("Everything is up to date")
        return

    # Fetch the packfile from source repository
    packfile = fetch_pack(
        src_remote_url,
        want_sha,
        have_shas,
        # username=src_username,  # Uncomment if source repo requires auth
        # password=src_password,  # Uncomment if source repo requires auth
    )

    # Upload packfile to destination repository
    send_pack(
        dest_remote_url,
        target_ref,
        from_sha,
        want_sha,
        packfile,
        username=dest_username,
        password=dest_password,
    )
