# Mike's Gitea Repo Migrator

Just a script to help make it a little easier to migrate an entire organization (with bulk selection) from one Gitea instance to another.

Supports changing destination names a bit, and adding topics to each transferred repo, as well as optional bulk-selected deletion from the source.

## Requirements

* python 3.12
* pipenv

## Installation

1. Clone this repo and `cd` to its root directory

2. Execute `pipenv install` (and optionally check with `pipenv check`)

## Execution

Ask `pipenv` to execute *main.py* on your behalf with the following:

```console

$ cd /path/to/gitea-repo-migrator
$ pipenv run python ./main.py --help
```

Optionally ask for a shell to run multiple times a bit faster:

```console

$ cd /path/to/gitea-repo-migrator
$ pipenv shell
$ python ./main.py --help
$ python ./main.py --help
```

### App Tokens

You'll need to generate an *Application Token* for both the source and destination servers, and pass the token along to the command line.

### SSL Verification

Pass the long switch `--no-verify-ssl` if any server sits behind a self-signed or wonky SSL certificate.

### Destination Repo Names

You can tweak the destination repo names a bit by using a string that includes `%N%` somewhere. The string `%N%` will expand to the original name. For example, if we use a repo originally named `my-test-repo` with the string `what-%N%`, the resulting destination repo name will be `what-my-test-repo`. This string will be recomputed for every migrated repo.

### Destination Topics

Topics will be duplicated from all source repos to their corresponding destination repos. You can specify additional topics with the `--destination-topic` switch. For example, to add the topic `migrated` to every repo, pass the switch `--destination-topic migrated`.
