- connorshea 10y agoThe comprehensive API helps, though that can theoretically be limited if a ton of people try to migrate.
- palunon 10y agoThe git repo itself is trivial to migrate (you already have a full copy, just push it somewhere else). The problems are issues, code comments, pull request discussions, etc, which may be harder, and their API helps here.
