Migrating from Azure DevOps or GitHub

If you migrate from GitHub to GitHub or from Azure DevOps to GitHub, you can use the GitHub Enterprise Importer (GEI) (see https://github.com/github/gh-gei). It is an extension for the GitHub CLI and can be installed using extension install:

$ gh extension install github/gh-gei

$ gh gei --help

You can set the Personal Access Tokens (PAT) as environment variables to authenticate to the source and target system:

$ export ADO_PAT=<personal access token>

$ export GH_SOURCE_PAT=<personal access token>

$ export GH_PAT=<personal access token>

You could also pass them to generate-script using --github-source-pat and --ado-pat parameters.

To create the migration script, execute one of the following commands depending on whether you want to migrate from GitHub or Azure DevOps:

$ gh gei generate-script --ado-source-org <source> --github-target-org <target>

$ gh gei generate-script --github-source...
