Ray, Apologies. I should have read the Stack Overflow article before responding. I know exactly what you need to do. If you what, we can work through this together off-list. —jon On Wed, Jul 9, 2025 at 8:28 PM Jon Boone <ipmonger@delamancha.org> wrote:
Ray, do you have an ssh key on the gitlab.common-lisp.org host? I think you might need to have the gitlab side configured with a key that belongs to some user on that machine and with the matching public key added to the mirror on GitHub.

Hi Ray,
It looks like your gitlab.clnet -> github mirror setup needs some configuration.
Yes, it does. :-(
Let me know if you need any help on it on our end. As far as I know, the gitlab end of this can be configured from your repository page under Settings->Repositories->Mirrors. If you need a new keypair, I think the "add a mirror" page has an automatic way to generate one, such that you can copy/paste the public one into the target github repo.
The instructions on that page are not very clear and even getting the right format for the repository was a bunch of trial and error. I think I might have it right now because the error message is different from before.
I googled for some help and found at https://stackoverflow.com/questions/30268549/mirroring-from-gitlab-to-github, but that's not enough. I don't know what kind of key it wants. I used the Copy Key button and pasted that as a deploy key on github, with write access. That didn't seem to help. The key that was copied appears to be my ssh public key that I use on gitlab.common-lisp.net.
I'm kinda stuck now.
