When I install a new machine I would like to checkout all my personal Git repositories stored at GitLab at once.

I tried some tools like Gitlabber, but they focus on groups. Group namespaces are not the same as user namespaces in GitLab. I dont have a group for my projects.

Based on an answer by @dinesh-balasubramanian how to clone all repositories of a group in GitLab I wrote a command for this.

  • Create a personal access token with read_api scope
  • Install curl and jq
  • Run this command to get a list of all projects of a username, search for the SSH URLs of them and execute git clone with each result (replace the placeholders before) 
    for repo in $(curl -H "PRIVATE-TOKEN: XXXX-YOUR-TOKEN-XXXX" "https://gitlab.com/api/v4/users/XXXX-YOUR-USERNAME-XXXX/projects/?page=1&per_page=100" | jq .[].ssh_url_to_repo | tr -d '"'); do git clone $repo; done;
    • Note: Gitlab returns a maximum of 100 items per page (20 items by default) - Change the page value if you have more than 100 projects

Checkout this tool that I created using python shipped with docker, it will keep the group/subgroup tree structure and will clone/pull all repos that are not mirrored.
