I want to mirror several public orgs I'm not part of, importing them manually. I set my personal github configuration (ie. username and token), but I don't want to automatically import personal repositories or repos from my own orgs.
Now during scheduled import, all my own repos (personal and from my orgs) are imported and I need to ignore them all manually to prevent sync on gitea.
Can I get this result now or a new feature is needed?
Thanks!

@jenkin currently what you want excactly is not possible but I can add it for you.

Thank you @arunavo4 , let me briefly describe my use case: https://codez.ombie.cash (its the gitea instance, of course gitea-mirror one is not exposed).
I want to track research and development activity of an open source project scattered on many repositories and organizations and people. I have two goals in mind: archiving and statistical analysis of code, metadata (ie. commit history), social layer (contributors, discussions).
After some attempts to find a good set of configuration options, now I'm missing two features:
this one, so disabling mirroring and tracking of personal stuff
Thank you very much for this project, very very useful.

After some attempts to find a good set of configuration options, now I'm missing two features:
1. this one, so disabling mirroring and tracking of personal stuff
2. enable mirroring and tracking of personal account other than mine, in addition to those of the orgs (see https://github.com/RayLabsHQ/gitea-mirror/issues/221)

Added in v3.18.0 (#320). There's a new "Skip personal repositories" toggle (also settable with ONLY_MIRROR_ORGS=true, which existed before but did nothing). With it on, discovery skips repos owned by your own account and only pulls in org repos. Mirroring another user's personal repos (not an org) still isn't supported, that part is tracked in #221.

@arunavo4 Thanks, I tested the new option and I can confirm that personal repos are ignored. 💪
But if I'm part of organizations I didn't explicitly add, their repos are synced as well! 😫
If confirmed, I can open a new issue.

Where? In the organizations section? There I can't find orgs I'm part of... I need to add them and then ignore?

@jenkin so you are saying on the "organisations" page from the sidebar your orgs are not showing? did you make sure to add the orgs in the gh token? Is all the orgs not showing or few ?

Ah, ok, I figured it out! I ran a github sync and now I can see my orgs and I can disable them... thanks!

Limit to specific organizations. Leave empty to mirror repos from every organization you belong to. Add one or more organizations to mirror only their repositories.
Maybe you can extend this option to take into account also the "don't mirror any org" scenario.

Blocking a user prevents them from interacting with repositories, such as opening or commenting on pull requests or issues. Learn more about blocking a user.

@jenkin in v3.19.x there is a new per-org "ignore" action.
