Repository Syncing Capabilities

Describe the feature or enhancement

Hi,

Thank you for this repository and tool. I have a question regarding syncing repositories: Is it possible to sync from one source repository to another source repository instead of a local folder? For example, can we sync a GitHub repository to a GitLab repository as the destination?

Thank you!

Hey, this feature is not yet supported since the idea is to create backups from cloud hosted service to your local server.

Following this as well. I would love this feature.

Hey, Ideally I would not want to include this feature since the idea behind git-sync was to be able to create backups from cloud hosted git solutions that you use. But I am open to discussing on the reasoning of why you would want this feature as part of git-sync.

PS: Moving this issue to a discussion.

Hi @AkashRajpurohit

The feature would be valuable for teams and individuals who need a reliable and automated way to sync repositories across different environments, whether for backup, deployment, or development workflows. Including this feature in Git-Sync would streamline these processes by eliminating the need for separate tools or manual steps, thereby enhancing efficiency and reducing the risk of errors. It aligns with Git-Sync’s core purpose of repository synchronization but broadens its utility for more varied use cases, particularly in CI/CD pipelines, multi-repository projects, or when working with on-premise solutions.
