Hey George, thanks for this guide!
I wanted to add a couple of things though - in my scenario I'm migrating from a server to cloud, and there's a bit of transition period where we'll need to update the mirrored repo with new commits and branches
Setup the new location to always mirror on push:
git remote add --mirror=push gitcloud git@example.com:/new-location.git
Then to update the new location (assuming the cloned mirror is the origin remote):
origin
git remote update --prune origin && git push gitcloud
As you're aware, --prune will remove any local refs not on remote, and these deletions will also be mirrored up on the push!
--prune
push
