Mirroring Repositories ​

1. Mirror the code branch to other repositories ​

Setup

To create an initial remote mirror use:

git remote add [ remote name ] [ remote url ]
example: git remote add example git@github.com:example/trivial-api.git

Mirroring a branch

Ensure you have the latest mirror to rebase onto:

git fetch [repo name]

Squash all commits into a single commit to mirror:

git rebase -i HEAD~N (N = total commits in branch)

Rebase the squashed commit onto the correct mirror branch and resolve any conflicts:

git rebase --onto [repo name]/develop HEAD~N (N = 1 || number of commits in branch)

Push the rebased commit to the mirror repository:

git push [repo name] the-branch-you-are-mirroring

2. Create a Mirror PR, Tag for Review, then Merge when Approved ​

Title Formatting:

• Title the mirror PR with the same name as the branch it mirrors

Description:

• Include a link to the original PR in the description for reference
  Example: "Mirror of #[PR num]"

Important Notes:

• Add any important notes for local reference, such as specific instructions or considerations for reviewers

Labels:

• Label the Mirror PR appropriately based on its purpose or status
• Update the base PRs Labels as needed (e.g., mirrored, not mirrored, etc.) to maintain consistency and clarity
