Cannot mirror glitch repository to gitlab


I have followed the instructions at https://glitch.com/help/how-to-sync-a-glitch-project-with-a-git-repo-on-gitlab/ to the letter, and gitlab will not mirror the repo - I get the error Every import attempt has failed: Error importing repository https://*****@api.glitch.com/git/peaceful-buttoned-phalange into username/repo - 13:CreateRepositoryFromURL: clone cmd wait: exit status 128. Please try again

Any clues how I can get it to sync?


Solution

  • NB: I work with the Community Engineering team at Glitch.

    Your project, ~peaceful-buttoned-phalange appears to be a private project.

    While GitLab mirroring works with public Glitch projects, it seems that as of March 22nd, 2020, private external repositories can't be mirrored on a free GitLab.com account.

    It seems you need at least a Bronze plan:

    The ability to mirror private external repositories and run CI/CD on them will no longer be available as of March 22, 2020, unless the repositories have been made public or you have upgraded to an eligible GitLab plan.

    I'll look into updating the help doc to reflect this.
