# GitHub configuration

The GitHub organization hosts read-only mirrors of all the libvirt Git repositories.

When creating a new repository the following changes to the defaults are required under the Settings page:

- Options

  - Features

    - Wikis: disabled

    - Sponsorships: disabled

    - Projects: disabled

  - Manage access

    - Add the @committers team with the role "Write", which grants the libvirtmirror user access to sync from GitLab.

  - Integrations

    - Check for Repo Lockdown (should be set automatically for all projects)

In the master git repository create a file .github/lockdown.yml to restrict use of issue tracker and pull requests.

# libvirt.org

The libvirt project server hosts read-only mirrors of all the libvirt Git repositories in the directory /data/git.

When creating a new repository the following steps are required:

- Create repo with

      $ sudo su -
      # cd /data/git
      # mkdir $repo.git
      # cd $repo.git
      # git init --bare
      # touch export
      # touch git-daemon-export-ok
      # cd ..
      # chown -R gitmirror.gitmirror $repo.git
      # chmod -R g+w $repo.git
      # find -type d $repo.git | xargs chmod g+s

- Set the description and config files following other repos' example

- Setup mirroring

      $ sudo su - gitmirror
      # ./newrepo.sh /data/git/$repo.git
      # cd mirrors
      # $HOME/sync-one.sh $repo.git
