Mirroring repositories: expect branch x

[lusty vault]

Is there a way to use the mirroring repositories feature to mirror anything other than branch x?

There is a mirror_branch_regex that you could potentially be able to use for this, but it would have to be all-inclusive of the branches you wanted to mirror.

Ah, thanks! I had the hope for a sec I'd use neagtiv parameters like ^(?:(?!branchNameX).)*$

it's possible you could try a negative lookahead in regex, but I don't know if those are supported by the underlying regex method GitLab uses. They're not universally supported

that's pretty similar to the regex you just posted 🙂

It was worth a try :D

[loud sand]

Ah, yep, there ya go 🙂

You could also potentially protect most of the refs, and use the only mirror protected refs setting, though that's a.... weird use of protected refs
