Does pygit2 implements 'git push --mirror'?

Does pygit2 implements 'git push --mirror'? If yes, please advice or point me to the documentation. Thanks in advance.

I am working on a script which mirrors a repository and pushes to another repository. As I understand, remote.push only pushes the explicitly defined refspec. Is there a way to push the complete repository similar to 'git push --mirror'?

No, I think it's not implemented.

PRs welcome.

Has this been implemented?

This seems to be working with the following code:

    # Create or update remote and set both fetch & push URLs
    # if remote_name not in repo.remotes:
    #     repo.remotes.create(remote_name, target_url)
    # else:
    repo.remotes.set_url(remote_name, target_url)
    repo.remotes.set_push_url(remote_name, target_url)
    repo.config[f"remote.{remote_name}.url"] = target_url
    repo.config[f"remote.{remote_name}.pushurl"] = target_url

    remote = repo.remotes[remote_name]
    #Get the repo references so we can push them all, since the git C library doesn't support globbing
    all_local_ref_names = list(repo.references)

    # 2. Build the list of refspecs
    refspecs_to_push = []
    print(f"Found {len(all_local_ref_names)} total references. Filtering...")
    for ref_name in all_local_ref_names:
        # We only want "real" refs that live under 'refs/'.
        # This correctly excludes 'HEAD'.
        if ref_name.startswith('refs/'):
            # Build the 'local:remote' mapping
            # e.g., "refs/heads/main:refs/heads/main"
            refspecs_to_push.append(f"{ref_name}:{ref_name}")
    if not refspecs_to_push:
        print("No valid refs (refs/...) found to push.")
        exit(0)
    print(f"Pushing {len(refspecs_to_push)} refs (branches, tags, etc)...")
    try:
        # 3. Perform the push
        # The push() method takes the list of strings directly.
        remote.push(refspecs_to_push, callbacks=callbacks)

        print("Push of all refs successful.")
    except pygit2.GitError as e:
        print(f"Error during push: {e}")
    except Exception as e:
        print(f"An unexpected error occurred: {e}")

    return f"Mirror push to {target_url} complete."
