Forking Git repository from GitHub to GitLab

Create an empty repository in Gitlab

Set the original Github repository as upstream:

git remote add upstream https://github.com/user/repo

Fetch the original Github repository changes
```
git pull upstream master
```
Start developing and pushing to your own Gitlab repository
```
git push origin master
```
You can configure Gitlab's repository mirroring settings to automate the pushing/pulling from the original Github repository (upstream)
