+# Git mirror
+
+Run this script to synchronize a repository once.
+
+## Dependencies
+* bash
+* git
+* Tor and torify (see section "Tor")
+
+## Usage
+```
+./git-mirror.sh <workdir> <leader> <follower...>
+```
+
+## Get started
+Create a git repo, add remotes for the leader and the followers:
+```bash
+mkdir ~/git-mirror-my-repo; cd ~/git-mirror-my-repo
+git init
+git remote add github https://github.com/interesting/repo
+git remote add gitea ssh://git@git.example.org/me/interesting-repo
+git remote add gitlab ssh://git@git.example.com/myself/interesting-repo
+```
+
+Make sure Tor is running (see section "Tor"). Then run the mirroring script:
+```bash
+cd
+git clone https://git.zeus.gent/midgard/git-mirror.git; cd git-mirror
+./git-mirror.sh ~/git-mirror-my-repo github gitea gitlab
+```
+The first remote, github is the leader. The others are followers that are updated.
+
+## Tor
+The leader is fetched over Tor through torify. Make sure Tor is running, or edit the script,
+changing `torify git fetch` into `git fetch`.
+
+## Motivation
+GitHub has always been hypocritical, promoting open source while keeping its own stack closed. When
+GitHub was bought by Microsoft, the author decided to stop using it. Unfortunately a lot of
+software still only has a presence on GitHub. To make it easier to work with those, this simple
+mirror script was written.
