Hi team, we are planning to migrate data from Gitlab to Github Enterprise cloud using manual steps (git clone and git push not using the migrating repository (link). I want to confirm what are the items that will be migrated such issues, merge request, branches?

Hello @ryan-d-p-ubana,

Using git clone and git push will import the contents of the repo, including history, and nothing else. For more historical information like that I would recommend the migration path from the docs.

Hi @queenofcorgis ,
How can I get a copy of GitHub Enterprise Importer? I've tried to use git clone --bare ... and git push --mirror. It only migrated repositories, branches and tags.

@ryan-d-p-ubana Enterprise Cloud Importer is only available for expert-led migrations.
