FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this tool free to use?

Yes, our GitLab to GitHub migration tool is completely free to use. We believe in making repository migration accessible to everyone.

Are my API tokens secure?

Your API tokens are only stored in your browser's local storage and are never sent to our servers. All migration operations happen directly between your browser and the GitLab/GitHub APIs.

Can I migrate private repositories?

Yes, you can migrate issues from private GitLab repositories to private GitHub repositories as long as your API tokens have the necessary permissions.

What permissions do I need for the API tokens?

For GitLab, you need a token with the api scope. For GitHub, you need a token with the repo scope to access private repositories or public_repo for public repositories only.

Will this tool migrate code repositories too?

This tool focuses specifically on migrating issues and their comments. For repository migration, we recommend using GitHub's import tool or the git command line to push your repository to GitHub.

What happens if the migration fails?

If any issues fail to migrate, our tool will provide detailed error messages and allow you to retry the migration. Successfully migrated issues will not be duplicated.
