Group repository storage moves API

Group repositories can be moved between storages. This can be useful when migrating to Gitaly Cluster, for example, or to migrate a Group Wiki.

As group repository storage moves are processed, they transition through different states. Values of state are:

• initial
• scheduled
• started
• finished
• failed
• replicated
• cleanup failed

To ensure data integrity, groups are put in a temporary read-only state for the duration of the move. During this time, users receive a The repository is temporarily read-only. Please try again later. message if they try to push new commits.

This API requires you to authenticate yourself as an administrator.

For other type of repositories you can read:

• Project repository storage moves API
• Snippet repository storage moves API
