Is it possible to bulk add external git repos to Fisheye

[Svante Gustafsson Björkegren]

Hi, I am setting up a brand new Fisheye/Crucible instance and have added a couple of existing repos to it. Easy process, I must say! But today I received a list with 120 repos that need to be added as well!! Is there a way to add external git repos in bulk? Rgrds, // Svante

Hi Svante,

There are a few options available to you:

1. All repository definitions are stored in the config.xml file in your FISHEYE_INST directory. You could create a script which inserts the 120 new repositories to that
2. Use the new Admin REST API: https://docs.atlassian.com/fisheye-crucible/latest/wadl/fecru.html#d2e27 While not all options are supported, the common ones are. You can also use "Repository Defaults" to define common options which are then picked up by all repositories that don't overwrite them.
3. If your repositories are on BitBucket or Stash, you may be able to use the Repository Synchronisation Plugin https://marketplace.atlassian.com/plugins/com.atlassian.fecru.reposync.reposync

Hope that helps!

Cheers,

Nick
