What's the easiest way to duplicate all your Github repositories, with history, somewhere else?
Ideally, I'd like to have two synchronized repositories, for no single point of failure, organizational or otherwise.

Then set up the alternative remote on your repos.

ssh user@git.example.com
mkdir project-1.git
cd project-1.git
git init —-bare
exit
git remote add alternate user@git.example.com:project-1.git
git clone --mirror https://github.com/you/repo
git remote add new https://gitlab.com/you/repo
git push --mirror newHowever git has more: - Bug tickets - PR - Wiki - many projects use their githubpages as primary homepage - newly GitHub actions
And then: Often collaborators are only known and identified by their GitHub handle. Running an own server requires some mechanism to identify them again and creating a way to handle their access credentials (ssh key etc.)
Moving a mildly successful project isn't easy. Good if more people plan for that eventuality, even if they stay on GH for the time being.
git remote set-url --add origin git@somewhere.else:my-project
Building this in git itself is not hard at all, and there's likely a script or plugin for gogs or gitea.
But GitLab does have feature support for extensive importing and mirroring. https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/user/project/import/github.html (Import your project from GitHub to GitLab) has a section on project mirroring.
git add remote NAME URL
git push NAME
git remote add originFoo URL
git push --all originFoo
There are other flags like mirror but never used them.
