How we migrated from GitHub to GitLab and keeping our workflow

说明与用途

团队将所有仓库从 GitHub 迁移到 GitLab，同时保留了现有工作流、CI/CD 流水线和社区互动。

问题

The team needed to move all repositories from GitHub to GitLab while preserving existing workflows, CI/CD pipelines, and open‑source collaboration practices.

结果

The migration preserved all code, issues, and community interactions while transitioning to GitLab’s integrated CI/CD, resulting in a unified platform without disrupting existing workflows.

工作流

• 1. Exported GitHub repositories using GitHub’s export tools. 2. Created corresponding GitLab projects and imported the repositories. 3. Migrated issue data, including labels, milestones, and comments, via GitLab’s issue import API. 4. Translated GitHub Actions workflows into GitLab CI/CD .gitlab-ci.yml files. 5. Configured GitLab runners to replace GitHub Actions runners. 6. Updated documentation and URLs to point to GitLab. 7. Validated that all pipelines ran successfully and that community discussions were intact.
