Hi,

I'm trying to use that to migrate but I get a "An error occured : Could not curl https://git.local/api/v3/projects httpcode=400"
Do you have any idea why ? May be the API changed since you did that script ?

Thanks a lot

Okay my bad, the repository is created by the script, if it exists it does an error 400. Works fine now ! Thanks a lot for that script !

Note: The quick'n'dirty "no-key" example has 5 elements in the array, but should have 6. It is missing the Gitlab Namespace ID ('labNamespaceId' => '10' in the associative array example).

Should look like:

//second: use the quick'n'dirty "no-key" of a standard array: (the keys are in the same order.)
array(
    'example','ExampleLab','exampleLab','NameSpaceEx','10','DescriptionExample'
)

trying to use this script and I keep getting:

fatal: The remote end hung up unexpectedly
error: failed to push some refs to 'git@mygitlaburl:adminID/testing.git

Any ideas? cloning works fine... via commandline but "--clone" does not work inside the script.

CentOS 7 is the platform I have it running on?

Figured out my issues... it was a firewall issues with the gitlab and gitolite... working now. Great Script!!
