I want to have a local mirror/proxy for some repos I’m using.
The idea is having something I can point my reads to so that I’m free to migrate my upstream repositories whenever I want and also so that my stuff doesn’t stop working if some of the jankiest third-party repos I use disappears.
I know the various forjego/gitea/gitlab/… (well, at least some of them - I didn’t check the specifics) have pull mirroring, but I’m looking for something simpler… ideally something with a single config file where I list what to mirror and how often to update and which then allows anonymous read access over the network.
Does anything come to mind?

If only it were decentralized. We need a federated alternative.
Oh wait…
git-sync looks like it does at you’re looking for.
Assuming you have all of them under a folder, I just run this lol
for f in *; do echo "$f"; git -C "$f" pull; git -C "$f" submodule update --recursive --remote; echo ""; echo "#########################################################################"; echo ""; donegit is already a decentralized version control software. Your local git repos are mirrors by themselves.
Put some
git fetchin a server crontab, and you’re done. You can access them via ssh if your user have permissions.You need a bot that waits for a change and then pushes
I’d look into the git-maintenance’s prefetch task. From what I understand, that is more or less what you are looking for. Then just run any old http(s) server and clone them from that https://git-scm.com/docs/git-maintenance
