It's not necessarily obvious how to perform a mirror, so add a recipe which tells what git does as well as provide example code of how to perform the same steps in pygit2.

git provides an argument to set up the repository as a mirror, which
|
||||||
|
involves setting the refspec to one which copies all refs and a mirror
|
||||||
|
option for push in the remote.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
.. code-block:: bash
|
||||||
|
$> git clone --mirror https://github.com/libgit2/pygit2
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
.. code-block:: python
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
def init_remote(repo, name, url):
|
||||||
|
# Create the remote with a mirroring url
|
||||||
|
remote = repo.remotes.create(name, url, "+refs/*:refs/*")
|
||||||
|
# And set the configuration option to true for the push command
|
||||||
|
mirror_var = "remote.{}.mirror".format(name)
|
||||||
|
repo.config[mirror_var] = True
|
||||||
|
# Return the remote, which pygit2 will use to perform the clone
|
||||||
|
return remote
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
print("Cloning pygit2 as mirror")
|
||||||
|
pygit2.clone_repository("https://github.com/libgit2/pygit2", "pygit2.git", bare=True,
|
||||||
|
remote=init_remote)
