It's called "pasta" for copy pasta. It was built with exactly the same motivation aa yours, also has a yaml config file, and is also implemented in go, kinda interesting. If yours takes off and we can drop ours, that'd be awesome!
For some feedback in features we have which we thinkg we'd be missing:
- we have the ability to copy individual files and specific subdirectories of other repos, not the entire repos
- mechanics to "clear" the target directory, in case a file gets deleted upstream, to keep the directories in sync
- we've modelled it with a plugin API, so you can implement new "copiers" for bitbucket, google drive, subversion, ...
- the github plugin we have uses the Github API for better performance, and you can add auth by setting an env var GITHUB_TOKEN
We also create a "result" file of every copy, noting the exact commit that was copied, which might or might not be a useful... Were thinking of posting it here at some point but never got around to it. Again, if yours takes off, that'd be the best option :)
We're using it mostly to copy .proto definitions from one repo to another.
If you're looking for alternatives, here's something we've built (hope I'm not hijacking this): https://github.com/audiotool/pasta
