it used to take some elaborate setup and scripting, but they made it lots easier !
to get started, for each repository you want to mirror:

git clone --mirror https://s​omewhere.com/user/repo.git

then run in a crontab or such periodically, for every repo:

cd /backup/repo.git && git fetch -q --tags

that it for local access—to make it clonable over http is unfortunately still more of a hassle with nginx and fcgiwrap
