Research direction

Read the linked migration guide and compare its git push origin --all and git push --tags steps with pygit2's available repository operations. The issue is complete when it explains how to perform both pushes through pygit2, including any relevant limitations.

Description

Hi,

I am testing out using pygit2 to help me migrate a large set of repository from Gerrit to GitLab

I am basing the process on this document here

I am at the last part of

  • git push origin --all

  • git push --tags

    I would like to find out how I can do the above two commands via pygit2.

Cheers
