It seems like after a new repository has been created on GitHub, it will be automatically imported to Gitea Mirror, but not automatically mirrored.

Does this always require manually clicking the "mirror" Button, or can new repositories be mirrored automatically?

Yes @pschlo currently needs manual. But I guess we can have it be automatically mirrored for people who want all of thier github to be mirrored and for people who want manual control there can be a checkbox or something they can uncheck.

Under "Configuration -> Connections -> GitHub Configuration -> Repository Selection" there is this option:

Auto-mirror new starred repositories.
When disabled, starred repos are imported for browsing but not automatically mirrored. You can still mirror individual repos manually.

Does this already do such automatic mirroring of newly starred repositories? Maybe this can be extended to also consider newly created own repositories.

However, the option currently does not seem to be working for me. A newly starred repository is auto-imported, but not mirrored, even though I have the option checked.
