[Systems] need help synchronizing git.olenepal.org with git.sugarlabs.org

[Bryan Berry]

Bernie,

your solution would mean we would have to create each new repo in two
places, one on g.o.o and another on g.sl.o . Is this understanding
incorrect?

Since we have 80+ lessons currently and each lesson requires its own
repo, this will mean a lot of admin time. In the future we should have
more than a couple hundred lessons, which will cause even more admin
head aches

Is there any way we could automatically export new repos from g.o.o to g.sl.o?
