This process does not migrate or import any types of groups or organizations from GitHub to GitLab.
### If you're using GitLab.com
If you're using GitLab.com, you can alternatively import
GitHub repositories using a [personal access token](#using-a-github-token),
but we don't recommend this method because it can't associate all user activity
(such as issues and pull requests) with matching GitLab users.
### If you're importing from GitLab Enterprise
If you're importing from GitHub Enterprise, you must enable [GitHub integration][gh-import].
### If you're using a self-managed GitLab instance
If you're an administrator of a self-managed GitLab instance, you must enable
[GitHub integration][gh-import].
If you're an administrator of a self-managed GitLab instance, you can also use the
[GitHub Rake task](../../../administration/raketasks/github_import.md) to import projects from
GitHub without the constraints of a Sidekiq worker.
### Use cases
The steps you take depend on whether you are importing from GitHub.com or GitHub Enterprise, as well as whether you are importing to GitLab.com or self-managed GitLab instance.
- If you're importing to GitLab.com, you can alternatively import GitHub repositories
using a [personal access token](#using-a-github-token). We do not recommend
this method, as it does not associate all user activity (such as issues and
pull requests) with matching GitLab users.
- If you're importing to a self-managed GitLab instance, you can alternatively use the
[GitHub Rake task](../../../administration/raketasks/github_import.md) to import
projects without the constraints of a [Sidekiq](../../../development/sidekiq_style_guide.md) worker.
- If you're importing from GitHub Enterprise to your self-managed GitLab instance, you must first enable
[GitHub integration](../../../integration/github.md). However, you cannot import projects from GitHub Enterprise to GitLab.com.
- If you're importing from GitHub.com to your self-managed GitLab instance, you do not need to set up GitHub integration.
