A GitHub Action for syncing between two independent repositories using force push.

• Sync branches between two GitHub repositories
• Sync branches to/from a remote repository
• GitHub action can be triggered on a timer or on push
• To sync with current repository, please checkout Github Repo Sync

# File: .github/workflows/repo-sync.yml

on: push
jobs:
  repo-sync:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
    - name: repo-sync
      uses: wei/git-sync@v1
      env:
        SOURCE_REPO: ""
        SOURCE_BRANCH: ""
        DESTINATION_REPO: ""
        DESTINATION_BRANCH: ""
        SSH_PRIVATE_KEY: ${{ secrets.SSH_PRIVATE_KEY }}
      with:
        args: $SOURCE_REPO $SOURCE_BRANCH $DESTINATION_REPO $DESTINATION_BRANCH

SSH_PRIVATE_KEY can be omitted if using authenticated HTTPS repo clone urls like https://username:access_token@github.com/username/repository.git.

To Sync all branches from source to destination, use SOURCE_BRANCH: "refs/remotes/source/*" and DESTINATION_BRANCH: "refs/heads/*". But be careful, branches with the same name including master will be overwritten.

docker run --rm -e "SSH_PRIVATE_KEY=$(cat ~/.ssh/id_rsa)" $(docker build -q .) \
  $SOURCE_REPO $SOURCE_BRANCH $DESTINATION_REPO $DESTINATION_BRANCH
