About:
Grokmirror is a framework for mirroring Git repositories using the 'grok' algorithm, which efficiently determines which objects are missing from a mirror. It leverages the existing smart HTTP Git protocol to minimize data transfer and server load, making it ideal for large-scale, multi-site mirroring operations.
Key Features:
  • Efficient object discovery using the grok algorithm
  • Uses standard smart HTTP Git protocol
  • Supports partial and full mirroring
  • Includes tools for managing mirror farms
Use Cases:
  • Creating geographically distributed mirrors for large open-source projects
  • Reducing load on primary Git servers
  • Maintaining offline backups of critical repositories
Alternatives:
  • git-mirroring – Grokmirror uses a specific algorithm for efficiency, whereas generic scripts may transfer redundant data.
  • rsync – Grokmirror understands Git internals and protocol, unlike rsync which is a generic file sync tool.
