Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/RayLabsHQ/gitea-mirror/issues/205

Originally assigned to: @arunavo4 on GitHub.

First of all, I set this up last night — amazing piece of software. Really impressed with how smooth the experience is.

I have a couple of questions / feature requests:

Granular metadata control:
Is there a way to control, at a more granular level, which repositories receive which metadata? For example, being able to configure metadata rules per repository (or per group of repositories) rather than applying the same behavior globally.

Selective sync for starred repositories:
Is it possible to import starred repositories but choose which ones should actually be synced?

Last night, it attempted to mirror and sync all ~800 of my starred repositories lol. I originally assumed it would only sync the ones I had manually mirrored, so this caught me by surprise.

It would be great to have an option to where the default isn't mirror and sync all but only sync those that have been manually mirrored.

@kapdon there is a button next to each repo in the table where you can mirror and sync only that. also you can stop syncing any particular repo.

  • Enable “Sync Starred Repositories” so that starred repositories are pulled into the table.
    • Note: If you do not enable this, “Import GitHub Data” only imports your own repositories, so there's no way to manually select repo to sync.
  • Select all and ignore all repositories
  • Manually enable, and mirror the one you want.

it kinda works, have to disable or enable new repos as you star more repos in github.
alternatively if you do the following:

  • Manually enable, and mirror the one you want.
  • Disable “Sync Starred Repositories.”
  • Wait for the scheduled “Sync every hour” job to trigger.
  • it triggers but never syncs the repo you manually mirrored.

also if you reboot the compose stack while you just have imported github data and haven't done anything else it'll start mirroring all the repository upon restart immediately.

testing #208

  • import github + starred repo, uncheck auto-sync, reboot compose stack, no sync ✅
  • disable sync starred repo, reboot compose, existing sync's repo did not get archived ✅
  • leaving sync starred repo unchecked, waiting for an hour right now to see if automated sync will continue to sync existing mirrored repo regardless if it's starred or not, it does ✅

oh also unrelated thing I starred a new repo after the inital import, it was picked up properly as dashboard repository section shows this new repo has been imported, but the activity log has no such record of it being imported even after refreshing

@kapdon Thanks a lot for testing it. Let me see why the event was missed.
