tfm core clone

tfm core clone will clone VCS repositories to the local system into the clone_repos_path you have defined in the config file.

Supported VCS

• github
• gitlab

Requirements

• A supported vcs_type must be configured with one of the tfm supported VCS providers in the tfm config file.

vcs_type = github

Credentials

tfm will used the following configuration file settings to authenticate to VCS and clone the repos:

The api token must have read access to the repositories to clone them.

github

github_token = "api token"
github_organization = "org"
github_username = "username"

gitlab

gitlab_token = "api token"
gitlab_group = "group102109"
gitlab_username = "username"

Clone a List of Repositories

Provide a repos_to_clone list in the config file of repositories that you would like to clone for migration.

repos_to_clone =  [
 "repos1",
 "repo2",
 "repo3"
]

Clone All Repositories

Not providing a repos_to_clone list will result in tfm attempting to clone every repository in the GitHub org or GitLab group.
