These scripts are inspired by gitlab-to-gitea script
I already tried the original script and it did not work with Forgejo, hence the second part of the script needs to be rewritten, and a different library should be used, among one of the followings: api-client-libraries
This script uses the APIs from both systems to migrate all data from Gitlab to Gitea.
This script support migrating the following data:
- Repositories & Wiki (fork status is lost)
- Milestones
- Labels
- Issues (no comments)
- Users (no profile pictures)
- Groups
- Public SSH keys
Tested with Gitlab Version 13.0.6 and Gitea Version 1.11.6.
Change items in the config section of the script.
Install all dependencies via python -m pip install -r requirements.txt
and
use python3 to execute the script.
To keep your local system clean, it might be helpful to store all Python dependencies in one folder. Python provides a virtual environment package which can be used to accomplish this task.
python3 -m venv migration-env
source migration-env/bin/activate
python3 -m pip install -r requirements.txt
Then start the migration script python3 migrate.py
