This repository automates the synchronization of forked repositories for the GitHub namespace Paebbels. The GitHub Action pipeline can be copied to another repository and configuration files (*.repos) can be adjusted to achieve the same functionality for other namespaces.

This code is licensed under MIT License.

1. Create a repository like SynchronizeForks in your namespace.
2. Copy these files:
   • README.md
   • LICENSE.md
   • .github/workflows/Synchronize.yml
   • .ALL.repos
3. Configure *.repos files.
4. Push the commit and check the Action for success.

The .ALL.repos file is the entry point for the script listing all GitHub organisations that should be synchronized. It lists one organisation per line or alternatively a comment starting with #. In case many single repositories from various organisations or private accounts should be synchronized, it's recommended to add an _Others or _Misc entry.

Example:

ghdl
OSVVM
_Others

Each organisation has a matching *.repos file contains one repository per line. Alternatively, a comment starting with #. A repository line has the following format:
<upstream>=<localRepository>:<branches>

• <upstream> is formatted like <organisation>/<repository> or <privateAccount>/<repository>.
• <localRepository> is formatted like <repository>.
  An account or organisation is not required, because it's inferred from the repository this script runs in.
• <branches> is a comma separated list of branch names like <branch>,<branch>,<branch>.

Example:

OSVVM/OSVVM=OSVVM:main,dev
OSVVM/AXI4=OSVVM-AXI4:main,dev
#OSVVM/AvalonST=OSVVM-AvalonST:main
