Migrate GitLab projects from a GitLab group to another GitLab's group
Project description
gitlab-projects-migrate
Migrate GitLab projects from a GitLab group to another GitLab's group
Purpose
The migration can be performed between entirely different GitLab servers.
The following steps are required before using the tool:
- The groups need to be created manually by the user or by a GitLab administrator
- The GitLab user tokens must be created with an
api
scope (a short expiration date is recommended)
Examples
# Show the helper menu
gitlab-projects-migrate
# Migrate projects from one group to another, then migrate subgroups
gitlab-projects-migrate 'https://gitlab.com' 'old/group' 'https://gitlab.com' 'new/group'
gitlab-projects-migrate 'https://gitlab.com' 'old/group/subgroup1' 'https://gitlab.com' 'new/group/subgroup1'
gitlab-projects-migrate 'https://gitlab.com' 'old/group/subgroup2' 'https://gitlab.com' 'new/group/subgroup2'
# Migrate projects from one GitLab to another GitLab
gitlab-projects-migrate 'https://old.gitlab.com' 'group/subgroup' 'https://new.gitlab.com'
