https://rtcamp.com/blog/gitlab-to-github-migration/ mentions a script solution to move from gitlab to github which mostly concerns transferring issues and such. As we only use the git repo itself plus CI but no issues or wiki we do not need that.

https://jsramblings.com/automatically-sync-gitlab-mirrored-repository-on-every-push-to-github/ explains how gitlab repositories can be automatically synced with github repos. Of course this – same as all other solutions I found except for polling – need access to the gitlab server from github so that github can trigger actions within gitlab. But given that we also pull test code by cron job every minute in https://gitlab.suse.de/openqa/salt-states-openqa/-/blob/master/etc/master/cron.d/SLES.CRON#L5 I don't see a problem with that.

Followed https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/user/project/repository/repository_mirroring.html#setting-up-a-push-mirror-from-gitlab-to-github to sync https://gitlab.suse.de/okurz/test-sync/ with https://github.com/okurz/test-sync . This pushed https://github.com/okurz/test-sync/commit/f9eb6a7d23e8f020f01b6ca91dad65b957c38312 , so far so good. Now about the other direction. Pulling from github is a "premium" feature for gitlab: https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/user/project/repository/repository_mirroring.html#pulling-from-a-remote-repository so I am thinking of a gitlab CI job to pull periodically, maybe as often as every 5 minutes or even every minute. For production use I would prefer to use a non-personal email-adress.

I created a new github account "openqa-git-sync", created a new github project and invited that user as a member, created a personal token within that user account and setup mirroring in https://gitlab.suse.de/openqa/salt-states-openqa/-/settings/repository#js-push-remote-settings with that token to https://github.com/os-autoinst/salt-states-openqa/

password stored in https://gitlab.suse.de/openqa/scripts/-/blob/master/password#L15

split out the sync from github.com to gitlab.suse.de into #91332
