GoGitlabber

This project is inspired from the python application called gitlabber (https://github.com/ezbz/gitlabber). It is mainly to learn Golang. But also to make something that specifically solves my problem. 😆

It is definitely not as feature-rich as the original project... 😬

The program can clone and pull all repositories you have access to on a selfhosted or SaaS provided Gitlab or Gitea server. It only supports the HTTP access method.

It will pull the repositories in a tree like structure same as on Gitlab or Gitea.

root [http://gitlab.example.com]
├── group1 [/group1]
│   └── subgroup1 [/group1/subgroup1]
│       └── project1 [/group1/subgroup1/project1]
└── group2 [/group2]
    ├── subgroup1 [/group2/subgroup1]
    │   └── project2 [/group2/subgroup1/project2]
    ├── subgroup2 [/group2/subgroup2]
    └── subgroup3 [/group2/subgroup3]
