Import your projects from Gitea to GitLab with minimal effort.
NOTE:
This requires Gitea `v1.0.0` or newer.
This requires Gitea `v1.0.0` or later.
The Gitea importer can import:
- Repository description (GitLab 8.15+)
- Git repository data (GitLab 8.15+)
- Issues (GitLab 8.15+)
- Pull requests (GitLab 8.15+)
- Milestones (GitLab 8.15+)
- Labels (GitLab 8.15+)
- Repository description
- Git repository data
- Issues
- Pull requests
- Milestones
- Labels
When importing, repository public access is retained. If a repository is private in Gitea, it's
created as private in GitLab as well.
## How it works
Since Gitea is currently not an OAuth provider, author/assignee cannot be mapped
to users in your GitLab instance. This means that the project creator (most of
the times the current user that started the import process) is set as the author,
but a reference on the issue about the original Gitea author is kept.
Because Gitea isn't an OAuth provider, author/assignee can't be mapped to users
in your GitLab instance. This means the project creator (usually the user that
started the import process) is set as the author. A reference, however, is kept
on the issue about the original Gitea author.
The importer creates any new namespaces (groups) if they don't exist or in
the case the namespace is taken, the repository is imported under the user's
namespace that started the import process.
