Replicating to a Google Source Repo

[Elad Ishay]

Hi,

We are using Google Cloud Source Repositories as our git repo.

Clone url looks like the following (HTTPS only, there is no SSH clone available) : 

https://source.developers.google.com/p/<PROJECT_NAME>/r/<REPO_NAME>

Is it possible to replicate from gerrit to an https git url on Google Cloud Repositories?

replication.config file content:

[remote "git-server"]

  url = https://<MY_USERNAME><MY_PASSWORD>@source.developers.google.com:443/<PROJECT_NAME>/${name}.git

10x!

This should work, under some specific conditions. You can specify the username and password inside $gerrit_site/etc/secure.config:

  [remote "git-server"]

    username = ...

    password = ....

https://gerrit.googlesource.com/plugins/replication/+/master/src/main/resources/Documentation/config.md#File-2

You would need to get that username and password from the Cloud Source Repositories console. Its accessible by clicking the Clone button next to a repository name, and selecting "Manually generated credentials". Those credentials are good for any repository the user has access to.

Gerrit supports / in a project name, while Cloud Source Repositories does not permit /. You would need to restrict your project names in Gerrit to the subset that both systems do accept, mostly A-Z, a-z, 0-9, _ and -.

That did it! 

Thanks a lot.
