 - `debug` 默认为false, 配置后，启用debug开关，会显示所有执行命令。
 - `timeout` 默认为'30m', 用于设置每个git命令的超时时间，'600'=>600s, '30m'=>30 mins, '1h'=>1 hours
 - `mappings` 源仓库映射规则，比如'A=>B, C=>CC', A会被映射为B，C会映射为CC，映射不具有传递性。主要用于源和目的仓库名不同的镜像。

 - `mappings` (optional) Default is empty, the source repos mappings, such as 'A=>B, C=>CC', source repo name would be mapped follow the rule: A to B, C to CC. Mapping is not transitive.
+- `dst_visibility` (optional) Default is public. If set to `private`, new creating repo visibility is `private`, but if destination repo have been created, the repo visibility will not be set, just only mirror the repo.
