Migrate from GitHub to GitLab
- emodendroket 8y agoMaybe I'm missing something, but this should be as easy as changing the remote.
- dropofwill 8y agoFor the git native features that works. This is for all the extra stuff (PRs, issues, wikis, etc.)
- lwhalen 8y agoThat'll get you the code, the branches, and the commit history. There can be a fair amount of metadata and other non-Git-but-still-gitlab-equivalent stuff like Issues, wikis, etc, and that's what the importer process brings over.
- singhrac 8y agoYeah, this is about importing all the 'metadata' that Git doesn't host but Github does: pull requests, issues, wiki pages, releases, etc. These features are immensely helpful for any organization or open source project and one of the main reasons that the 'centralization' of Git happened.

- top_post 8y agoLol at username
- arcticfox 8y agoThe Gitlab CEO was even spamming the #movingtogitlab hashtag in that thread before his posts largely got flagged and removed. It was quite... untactful, to say the least.

- dang 8y agoI don't suppose we need two Github-to-Gitlab migration discussions on the front page, and https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=17223116 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=17223116 is more topical and was submitted earlier.
- top_post 8y agoThe outrage here is insane. People are acting like Microsoft have already ruined something - they've done nothing, not even had a chance to do anything.
- api_or_ipa 8y agoGood. I've structured my life to avoid Microsoft, and I intend to continue doing such. This is a vote of non-confidence in Microsoft and they should realise that their reputation for abhorrent behaviour cannot be erased overnight.
- hel_o 8y agoGithub with microsoft is not the same thing, I dont like microsoft, I will migrate to Gitlab.
