I have many git repos on my server. Using command line(script) I want to make new gitlab repos on https://gitlab.companyname.com, form existing local repos. And also push all branches with tags on gitLab server.

Is it possible to do that without enterprise account?

My frined built a script (curl, git, jq required) just for that. We use it and it works just fine: https://gist.github.com/JonasGroeger/1b5155e461036b557d0fb4b3307e1e75

To find out your namespace, its best to check the API quick:

curl "https://example.com/api/v3/projects?private_token=$GITLAB_PRIVATE_TOKEN"

There, use "namespace.name" as NAMESPACE for your group.

The script essentially does:

Get all Projects that match your PROJECT_SEARCH_PARAM
Get their path and ssh_url_to_repo

1. If the directory path exists, cd into it and call git pull




2. If the directory path does not exist, call git clone

Save below file by filename.sh
- open terminal
- goto file saved directory
- type "sh filename.sh" command and hit enter

Here all the projects from local server are moved to your GitLab server by using this shell script.

# Below is project directory where we are clone all projects

cd /Users/abcd.pqrs/Documents/dev/AllProjects



#Private Tocken

declare projectTocken="YourProjectTockenString"

declare namespaceId=111 #(Your NameSpceId from GitLab)



# Source Repo Array

declare -a source_urls=(

"git@source_Server_IP:/home/git/project_code/projects/project1.git"

"git@source_Server_IP:/home/git/project_code/projects/project2.git"

"git@source_Server_IP:/home/git/project_code/projects/project3.git"

)



# Project Names by using *Source Repo* URL Array

declare -a project_names=(

"project1"

"project2"

"project3"

)



# *Destination Repo* URLs

declare -a target_urls=(

"http://destination_Server_IP/groupName/project1.git"

"http://destination_Server_IP/groupName/project1.git"

"http://destination_Server_IP/groupName/project1.git"

)



## now loop through the above Source URL array

for i in "${!source_urls[@]}"

do

# Clone the project into local directory

echo "Clonning  ${source_urls[$i]}"

git clone "${source_urls[$i]}"



# Go to project folder/directory

cd "${project_names[$i]}"



# Create New Project on Gitlab

curl -H "Content-Type:application/json" http://destination_Server_IP/api/v4/projects?private_token="$projectTocken" -d "{ "name": "${project_names[$i]}", "namespace_id": "$namespaceId" }"



# Set the new server URL for this new directory

git remote set-url origin "${target_urls[$i]}"



for remote in `git branch -r | grep -v /HEAD`; do

echo "Switching to $remote Branch"

#Track all the remote branches into local repo

git checkout --track $remote ;

git status

done

#Push All branches to new server

git push origin --all



# Move back to Mobility directory so that next repo will start with new directory in same folder

cd -

pwd

done

Edit this script as per requirement.

You can add your gitlab repo as a remote in your server. Then you can use push --all.

Something like this in each repo directory you have:

git add remote gitlab <YOUR NEW REPO URL>

git push gitlab --all
