git-bridge lets you keep your code repositories up to date by syncing them automatically. It works with systems like GitHub, GitLab, and AWS CodeCommit. The app handles connections between these services so your code stays synced without you doing extra work.
This tool fits well in automation, continuous integration/delivery (CI/CD), and DevOps workflows. You do not need to know how to program to use it. The app’s goal is to make syncing your git repositories simple and fast.
- Windows 10 or later (64-bit recommended)
- 2 GB of free disk space
- Internet connection for syncing repositories
- Administrative rights to install software
Follow these steps to get git-bridge running on your Windows PC.
Go to the release page to get the latest version.
This page shows all versions. Look for the latest release and download the Windows executable file. It usually has a .exe extension.
After downloading the .exe file:
- Locate the file in your Downloads folder
- Double-click the file to start the installation
- Follow the on-screen instructions to complete setup
You might see a security prompt from Windows. If so, click "Run" or "Allow" to continue.
After installation finishes:
- Find git-bridge in the Start menu or search for "git-bridge"
- Launch the app by clicking the icon
The app will open a simple window where you can set up your syncing options.
You need to connect your source and destination repositories. These could be GitHub, GitLab, or AWS CodeCommit repositories.
- Click "Add Source"
- Enter the URL of your source repository (e.g., your GitHub repository link)
- Provide access credentials or tokens when asked
- Save the settings
- Click "Add Destination"
- Enter the URL of the repository where you want your code mirrored
- Again, provide necessary access tokens
- Save the settings
Set how often you want the app to check for changes and sync your repositories. You can choose to:
- Sync manually (you initiate each sync)
- Sync on a schedule (e.g., every hour)
- Sync automatically when there is a change
You can also set advanced options like:
- Sync specific branches
- Exclude certain files or folders
Once configured, git-bridge will:
- Check the source repository for changes
- Pull changes to your local machine
- Push updates to the destination repository
- Handle conflicts automatically or notify you for manual resolution
This process runs quietly in the background, using minimal resources.
- Open git-bridge anytime to check sync status
- View logs for detailed information on what changes were synced
- Manually trigger sync if needed by clicking the "Sync Now" button
- Change settings or repositories through the app’s interface
If nothing syncs:
- Check your internet connection
- Verify you entered the correct repository URLs and credentials
- Ensure your access tokens or passwords are still valid
- Look at the app’s logs for errors
- Restart git-bridge and try syncing again
If the app fails to start:
- Confirm you installed the right version for Windows
- Make sure your Antivirus or firewall is not blocking the app
- Try running the app as an administrator
git-bridge uses secure connections to access your repositories. Your access tokens and passwords are stored locally and encrypted. The app does not share your credentials with any third party.
You control what repositories you add and can remove access anytime.
During sync, git-bridge stores your repositories in a folder on your PC. You can set this folder in the app’s settings. Make sure you have enough free space to hold the repository data.
Check the download page regularly for new versions. Updates fix bugs and add features. You will need to download and run the new installer to update your copy of git-bridge.
