Feature highlight: Push to a remote repository

GitLab's mirroring functionality, introduced in versions 8.2 and 8.7 of the Enterprise Edition, allows users to synchronize changes between GitLab and external repositories, making GitLab the central hub for development while maintaining links to other repositories. This feature, known as "Push to remote repository," is particularly beneficial for companies that need to adhere to legacy systems or prefer to keep using existing integrations or hosting services without reconfiguring them. Users can configure this functionality through the Mirror Repository settings, enabling automatic hourly updates or manual triggers. An experiment with a chain of repositories—Bitbucket to GitLab to GitHub—demonstrated the flexibility of this feature, as it allows for both workflow modification and the creation of new workflows. The mirroring capability is available on GitLab Enterprise Edition, which can be self-hosted or accessed for free on GitLab.com, GitLab's SaaS offering.
