GitHub organization
Pagination and conditional requests catch private, archived, and newly created repositories without burning the rate limit.
Continuous organization mirroring
Your GitHub org,
somewhere else.
Continuously.
Every repository. Every new repo. Branches, tags, issues, labels, milestones, PR conversations, and review context—kept usable on your forge and in a portable archive.

A living copy, not a cold backup
One path through three durable layers.
Local state + JSON
SQLite keeps idempotent mappings and an audit trail. Forge-neutral snapshots are committed to your own Git archive.
Forgejo · Codeberg · GitLab
Missing projects are created, every ref is mirror-pushed, and discussions arrive with author and source links intact.
What survives the crossing
Code is only half the project.
forge-sync keeps the social record readable even when the target cannot model a GitHub object exactly.
- Git refsBranches + tagsTrue mirror push
- PlanningIssues + milestonesState and labels preserved
- ReviewPR conversationInline anchors retained as context
- IdentityAuthor + timestampCanonical source link in body
Start safely
Make a config. Keep secrets out of it.
This local builder never asks for tokens and sends nothing anywhere.
Designed for unattended runs
Quiet when healthy. Specific when not.

The sharp edges, stated plainly
Before you point it at production.
Does it recreate pull requests?
It preserves pull-request descriptions, reviews, discussion comments, and inline file/line anchors in a labeled target issue. This remains valid after merge, branch deletion, or cross-fork work.
Does it sync changes back to GitHub?
Not in v1. The experimental relay flag records intent but sends nothing. Reliable bidirectional identity and review-anchor mapping needs more real-world validation.
Where do tokens and data go?
Tokens stay in environment variables. Metadata goes only to your chosen target, local SQLite state, and your local JSON archive. The documentation site never receives it.
Keep the exit open
