Hi everybody,

i'm currently planning to migrate from Gitorious to GitLab.

The best case scenario would be that i can migrate all repositoreis, users  and ssh keys from the Gitorious server to the new GitLab environment.

Does anybody have experience with this? Or any ideas how to do that as smooth as possible?

cko, I'm planning to do the same. Did you do the migration? Can you share what strategy and scripts you used?

Thanks in advance,
Daniel Serodio

We're very interested people's experience with automating the
migration from Gitorious, if you have any scripts please share.

Hello. This issue was fixed in version 7.10.2 and you should be able to migrate from Gitorious to GitLab. Could you please confirm if it's working for you now?

We wrote a PHP script that fully automates migration of Gitorious repositories to GitLab.


Let me know if it works for you!

Andy
