Gickup is a Go-based CLI tool that clones or mirrors Git repositories from one hosting provider to another, supporting GitHub, GitLab, Gitea, Codeberg, Bitbucket, Sourcehut, and more. It can back up repositories to other hosts, local storage, or S3, and runs as a binary, Docker container, or scheduled job.

Use cases

  • back up all my GitHub repositories to a local server
  • mirror repositories from GitLab to Gitea
  • schedule automatic git repo backups with Docker
  • migrate repositories between git hosting providers
  • keep an offsite copy of my repos on S3
  • back up repos from a self-hosted Gitea instance

When to choose

  • you need automated, scheduled backups of many repositories across hosts
  • you want to mirror repos between different Git forges or to local/S3 storage
  • you prefer a lightweight Go binary or Docker deployment without needing git installed

When to avoid

  • you need per-file or incremental backup rather than full repo clones/mirrors
  • you require GitLab EE mirroring support, which is currently untested
  • you need a GUI-based backup solution
