GitHub Actions

# File: .github/workflows/repo-sync.yml

on: push
jobs:
  repo-sync:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
    - name: repo-sync
      uses: wei/git-sync@v2
      with:
        source_repo: ""
        source_branch: ""
        destination_repo: ""
        destination_branch: ""
        ssh_private_key: ${{ secrets.SSH_PRIVATE_KEY }}

ssh_private_key can be omitted if using authenticated HTTPS repo clone urls like https://username:access_token@github.com/username/repository.git.

Advanced: Sync all branches

To Sync all branches from source to destination, use source_branch: "refs/remotes/source/*" and destination_branch: "refs/heads/*". But be careful, branches with the same name including master will be overwritten.

Advanced: Sync all tags

To Sync all tags from source to destination, use source_branch: "refs/tags/*" and destination_branch: "refs/tags/*". But be careful, tags with the same name will be overwritten.

Docker

docker run --rm -e "SSH_PRIVATE_KEY=$(cat ~/.ssh/id_rsa)" $(docker build -q .) \
  $SOURCE_REPO $SOURCE_BRANCH $DESTINATION_REPO $DESTINATION_BRANCH
