Mirror Hush Line Repository to GitLab

[iAnonymous3000]

To improve the availability and accessibility of our Hush Line project and reduce the risk of a single point of failure, we should set up repository mirroring from GitHub to GitLab. This will provide an additional hosting option for our project and ensure that users and contributors can still access the project if GitHub experiences any issues or downtime.

Tasks:

1. Create a GitLab account:

   • [ ] Sign up for a GitLab account at https://gitlab.com/ (free plan is sufficient)
   • [ ] Ensure that the account has the necessary permissions to create a new project

2. Set up repository mirroring:

   • [ ] Create a new project on GitLab using the "Repository Mirroring" option
   • [ ] Choose "GitHub" as the source and grant GitLab access to the Hush Line repository
   • [ ] Configure the mirroring settings, including the synchronization interval
   • [ ] Verify that the initial mirroring process is successful

3. Update project documentation:

   • [ ] Update the project's README file to mention the GitLab mirror
   • [ ] Provide the GitLab repository URL alongside the GitHub URL
   • [ ] Include instructions on how to access the project through both platforms

4. Maintain the mirroring relationship:

   • [ ] Regularly check the mirroring status on GitLab to ensure synchronization is working
   • [ ] Update the mirroring settings if any changes are made to the GitHub repository settings or authentication

5. Communicate the changes:

   • [ ] Inform the project's community about the new mirroring setup
   • [ ] Provide clear instructions on how to access the project through both GitHub and GitLab
   • [ ] Encourage users to report any issues or discrepancies between the two repositories

Benefits:

• Improved availability and accessibility of the Hush Line project
• Reduced risk of a single point of failure by hosting the project on multiple platforms
• Increased visibility and potential for collaboration by reaching a wider audience on GitLab

Milestone:

• Project Infrastructure Improvements
