My understanding was (though I have no idea where I got this understanding :P) that the GitLab mirror is intended to become the primary mirror or at least the primary CI/CD for Ocim.
Thanks, @swalladge for asking this question up in public. The intention of creating the mirror is to eventually migrate from GitHub to GitLab. I don’t know-how is “recent activity” is defined but for OCIM UX 2.1 we are actively maintaining tickets on GitLab. In fact, a lot of the conversation happens on GitLab which was previously happening on Jira. This was done as an initiative of the “open first” policy where we are opening the internal discussion etc. to the public.
The only reason GitHub repo exists is that the deployment pipeline is very GitHub-centric and it will require some work to set up the same pipeline for GitLab.
@farhaan Aah ok thanks for the context! I didn’t even notice that opencraft/dev/opencraft existed. Looks like we can safely delete opencraft/opencraft then as it appears to be an overlooked duplicate.
We can definitely do that; can I take this as an official request, or do we need to discuss the name change? I’m guessing gitlab can do the redirect from the old urls to the new, so it shouldn’t be too much of an issue.
This is causing issues because in OCIM UX 2.1 Epic we have not used Jira tickets for description but just to track the progress and all the conversation about the ticket happens on GitLab.
Hmm, GitHub automatically creates redirects when you move a repo. It’s too bad that GitLab doesn’t.
That said, I think there are only about ~22 links, which isn’t too bad? If you just manually fix each one you come across, they’ll be fixed in no time.
GitLab does, but the redirect was messed up when the old repo was mistakenly moved to the location of the new repo’s previous path, and then deleted… :/ I’ll see if it’s possible to trick gitlab into reinstating the redirect.
