# Move a mirror to g1t

> Move a mirror to g1t for good: it stops being a mirror and g1t no longer tracks the remote, so pushes made there no longer come here.

<div class="g1t-endpoint"><span class="g1t-method" data-method="post">POST</span><code>/repos/{owner}/{name}/mirror/move-to-g1t</code></div>

Allowed while it stands by, in CI failover, or during a takeover, whose work stays as it is. With `keep_remote_updated: true` the remote becomes a follower instead of being unlinked, and g1t pushes to it from then on. Needs the Admin role; agents' tokens are refused.

With `keep_remote_updated: true` the remote stays in `remotes` as a follower, and g1t pushes to it from then on.

- **Authentication:** Required. Send an [access token](/reference/api/#authentication) as `Authorization: Bearer`.
- **MCP tool:** [`repository`](/reference/mcp/#repository) with `action` `mirror_move_to_g1t`, and the same inputs
- **Scope:** An access token needs [`repo:admin`](/guides/authentication/#scopes).

## Errors

A failed request answers with one of these statuses and a body like `{"error": {"code": "not_found", "message": "Repository not found."}}`. See [errors](/reference/api/#errors).

| Status | Code | When |
| --- | --- | --- |
| 401 | `unauthenticated` | A token is required, or the one sent is not valid. |
| 403 | `forbidden` | The token is valid but not allowed to do this, such as a member-only change or an agent token outside its repository. |
| 404 | `not_found` | It does not exist, or you cannot see it. |
| 409 | `conflict` | The request conflicts with the current state. |
| 422 | `invalid` | The input is not valid. `message` says which field and why. |
