(docs) Updated fields information for push mirror from GitLab to GitHub
What does this MR do?
Fix instructions for Setting up a push mirror from GitLab to GitHub (documentation only).
I found this part to not work/unclear:
- Fill in the Git repository URL field, with the personal access token instead of a password. For example:
https://<GitHubUsername>:<GitHubPersonalAccessToken>@github.com/group/project.git
.- Click the Mirror repository button.
Placing only the https://<GitHubUsername>:<GitHubPersonalAccessToken>@github.com/group/project.git
in the Git repository URL
and clicking the Mirror repository button (with empty password field) resulted in this error:
2:Gitlab::Git::CommandError: fatal: could not read Password for '[FILTERED]@github.com': No such device or address
However, splitting out the access token from the repository URL and placing in the password field resulted in a successful sync.
