alt Hacker NewsIf the only need you need is sync repos without exclusions or transformations I wouldn't bother, it could work for you until it doesn't when they archive it or kill it like kaniko or so many other google products/tools.
Gitlab has really simple way to mirror from Gitlab to Github or other git vendors/servers

yea copybara is really for doing transforms in one or both directions.
E.g. translating from external bzl to internal blaze BUILD compatibility, changing between external imports and internal third_party style imports, etc etc.
If it's a pure mirror, copybara is super overkill
I really doubt copybara ever gets killed. AFAIK it’s a pretty central tool to google3 and how they maintain and vendor OSS projects at scale
