I have a large number of pull-mirrored repositories in my self-hosted Gitea instance. I no longer have access to them and would like to convert them all into normal repositories. I can break them one at a time by going to **Settings** \>\> **Danger Zone** \>\> **Convert to Regular Repository**. I’d like to repeat this process from within the Gitea Database.

In the Gitea database I can change the` repository.is_mirror` to false, and remove the respective line in the `mirror` table.

Is there anything else that I need to do to convert these repositories?
