Sync GitLab repo to GitHub?

Hi all! I feel a bit bad to join the forums and immediately drop a help request but I’m a bit lost at the moment…

I installed GitLab in a local server at our office in New Zealand and cloned a GitHub repository so we can all work locally. But I would still like for the GitHub repo to be up to date.

First option I discarded was all devs pulling from the local server but pushing to both repos at the same time because of the international connection to GitHub servers from here is ridiculously slow.

The other idea I had was to have a dedicated system pulling all branches from the local GitLab and pushing to GitHub but I’m wondering if there’s a better way to handle this? Does GitLab have an integrated solution for what I want to do? Or any other ideas I could consider?

Sorry if this sounds obvious… I’ve been reading about this for a couple of hours now and I’m in that information overwhelm state and can’t figure it out so any guidance or reading recommendations will be greatly appreciated!

@delebru this fully supported by GitLab, no need for any Git tricks https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/workflow/repository_mirroring.html#setting-up-a-push-mirror-from-gitlab-to-github
