Action Summary

The vcopy GitHub Action enables seamless copying of repositories between organizations on GitHub, including GitHub Cloud and Enterprise, while ensuring data integrity through a five-layer cryptographic verification process. It automates the mirroring of branches, tags, commits, releases, and optionally metadata like issues, pull requests, and wikis, providing a reliable solution for repository migration, backup, or duplication tasks. Key features include batch processing, metadata and configuration filtering, GPG-signed verification reports, support for Git LFS, and robust handling of network or API failures.
