Creation of organisations on Gitlab instance for Geography & related

We would be interested to mirror repositories from our three organisational instances on Github:

Department of Geography https://github.com/camunigeog/

CAMPOP (The Cambridge Group for the History of Population and Social Structure) https://github.com/campop/

Scott Polar Research Institute (SPRI) https://github.com/spri/

If you could create these with the names as above that would be great.

As discussed at the meeting at Engineering, we regard these as being sufficiently 'top-level' - Geography is obviously a Department, SPRI is part of Geography but well known in its own right, and CAMPOP is a joint initiative of Geography and History so should not be under either.

Could you give a quick pointer as to how we can set up mirroring of a repo from Github to Gitlab? (We may in future want to reverse that, but for now we will keep the Github repo as the canonical repo.)

You should find the information you need about mirroring here: https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/workflow/repository_mirroring.html

In order to create these new groups we need to have a human-friendly name for the group, a suggested "short name" for the group and at least two initial admins for the group.

I was thinking same as Github, but actually that doesn't entirely make sense here. So go with:

Department of Geography - geog

CAMPOP (The Cambridge Group for the History of Population and Social Structure) - campop

Scott Polar Research Institute (SPRI) - spri

Second admin: @mb425 in addition to me.

Thanks for this. @mb425 will have had to have signed in and accepted the Ts&Cs before we can make them an admin.

Re mirroring, I would suggest using GitLab's import project for external CI/CD feature. This will create a project on GitLab matching the one on GitHub and set up mirroring for that project but will not attempt to migrate issues, pull requests or wiki pages.

Thanks; I believe this is now done.

Noted, thanks.
