Migration de dépôts de .com vers Enterprise Cloud

Tool navigation

Migrations to Enterprise Cloud include migrations between accounts on .com and, if you're adopting data residency, migrations to your enterprise's subdomain of GHE.com.

You can run your migration with either the CLI or the API.

The CLI simplifies the migration process and is recommended for most customers. Advanced customers with heavy customization needs can use the API to build their own integrations with Enterprise Importer.

To see instructions for using the API, use the tool switcher at the top of the page.
To see instructions for using the CLI, use the tool switcher at the top of the page.

Remarque

If the repository you are migrating has rulesets that the incoming repository doesn't match, the migration will be blocked. To bypass these rulesets and allow the migration, you can apply a ruleset bypass for all deploy keys in the target organization.

Repository rulesets can be set at the organization level. If the incoming repository does not match any of these rulesets, you will need to use the deploy key bypass for each one. See Creating rulesets for repositories in your organization.

  • We strongly recommend that you perform a trial run of your migration and complete your production migration soon after. To learn more about trial runs, see Overview of a migration between products.
  • Ensure you understand the data that will be migrated and the known support limitations of the Importer. For more information, see About migrations between products.
  • While not required, we recommend halting work during your production migration. The Importer doesn't support delta migrations, so any changes that happen during the migration will not migrate. If you choose not to halt work during your production migration, you'll need to manually migrate these changes.
  • In both the source and destination organization, you must be either an organization owner or be granted the migrator role. For more information, see Managing access for a migration between products.

To make GraphQL queries, you'll need to write your own scripts or use an HTTP client like Insomnia.

To learn more about getting started with the GraphQL API, including how to authenticate, see Forming calls with GraphQL.

You will send all GraphQL queries to the destination of your migration. If you're migrating to Enterprise Cloud with data residency, make sure to send queries to the endpoint for your enterprise's subdomain of GHE.com.

As an organization owner in Enterprise Cloud, use the GetOrgInfo query to return the ownerId, also called the organization ID, for the organization you want to own the migrated repositories. You'll need the ownerId to identify your migration destination.

query(
  $login: String!
){
  organization (login: $login)
  {
    login
    id
    name
    databaseId
  }
}
Query variableDescription
loginYour organization name.

{
  "data": {
    "organization": {
      "login": "Octo",
      "id": "MDEyOk9yZ2FuaXphdGlvbjU2MTA=",
      "name": "Octo-org",
      "databaseId": 5610
    }
  }
}

In this example, MDEyOk9yZ2FuaXphdGlvbjU2MTA= is the organization ID or ownerId, which we'll use in the next step.

You can set up a migration source using the createMigrationSource query. You'll need to supply the ownerId, or organization ID, gathered from the GetOrgInfo query.

Your migration source is an organization on .com.

mutation createMigrationSource($name: String!, $ownerId: ID!) {
  createMigrationSource(input: {name: $name, url: "https://.com", ownerId: $ownerId, type: _ARCHIVE}) {
    migrationSource {
      id
      name
      url
      type
    }
  }
}

Remarque

Make sure to use _ARCHIVE for type.

Query variableDescription
nameA name for your migration source. This name is for your own reference, so you can use any string.
ownerIdThe organization ID of your organization on Enterprise Cloud.

{
  "data": {
    "createMigrationSource": {
      "migrationSource": {
        "id": "MS_kgDaACQxYmYxOWU4Yi0wNzZmLTQ3NTMtOTdkZC1hNGUzZmYxN2U2YzA",
        "name": ".com Source",
        "url": "https://.com",
        "type": "_SOURCE"
      }
    }
  }
}

In this example, MS_kgDaACQxYmYxOWU4Yi0wNzZmLTQ3NTMtOTdkZC1hNGUzZmYxN2U2YzA is the migration source ID, which we'll use in the next step.

When you start a migration, a single repository and its accompanying data migrates into a brand new repository that you identify.

If you want to move multiple repositories at once from the same source organization, you can queue multiple migrations. You can run up to 5 repository migrations at the same time.

mutation startRepositoryMigration (
  $sourceId: ID!,
  $ownerId: ID!,
  $sourceRepositoryUrl: URI!,
  $repositoryName: String!,
  $continueOnError: Boolean!,
  $accessToken: String!,
  $Pat: String!,
  $targetRepoVisibility: String!
){
  startRepositoryMigration( input: {
    sourceId: $sourceId,
    ownerId: $ownerId,
    repositoryName: $repositoryName,
    continueOnError: $continueOnError,
    accessToken: $accessToken,
    Pat: $Pat,
    targetRepoVisibility: $targetRepoVisibility
    sourceRepositoryUrl: $sourceRepositoryUrl,
  }) {
    repositoryMigration {
      id
      migrationSource {
        id
        name
        type
      }
      sourceUrl
    }
  }
}
Query variableDescription
sourceIdYour migration source id returned from the createMigrationSource mutation.
ownerIdThe organization ID of your organization on Enterprise Cloud.
repositoryNameA custom unique repository name not currently used by any of your repositories owned by the organization on Enterprise Cloud. An error-logging issue will be created in this repository when your migration is complete or has stopped.
continueOnErrorMigration setting that allows the migration to continue when encountering errors that don't cause the migration to fail. Must be true or false. We highly recommend setting continueOnError to true so that your migration will continue unless the Importer can't move Git source or the Importer has lost connection and cannot reconnect to complete the migration.
PatThe personal access token for your destination organization on Enterprise Cloud.
accessTokenThe personal access token for your source.
targetRepoVisibilityThe visibility of the new repository. Must be private, public, or internal. If not set, your repository is migrated as private.
sourceRepositoryUrlThe URL of your source repository, using the format https://.com/{organization}/{repository}.

For personal access token requirements, see Managing access for a migration between products.

In the next step, you'll use the migration ID returned from the startRepositoryMigration mutation to check the migration status.

To detect any migration failures and ensure your migration is working, you can check your migration status using the getMigration query. You can also check the status of multiple migrations with getMigrations.

The getMigration query will return with a status to let you know if the migration is queued, in progress, failed, or completed. If your migration failed, the Importer will provide a reason for the failure.

query (
  $id: ID!
){
  node( id: $id ) {
    ... on Migration {
      id
      sourceUrl
      migrationSource {
        name
      }
      state
      failureReason
    }
  }
}
Query variableDescription
idThe id of your migration that the startRepositoryMigration mutation returned.

To finish your migration, we recommend that you check the "Migration Log" issue. This issue is created on in the destination repository.

Screenshot of an issue with the title "Migration Log." The second comment in the issue includes logs for a migration.

Finally, we recommend that you review your migrated repositories for a soundness check.

If this is your first migration, you'll need to install the GEI extension of the CLI. For more information about the CLI, see About CLI.

Alternatively, you can download a standalone binary from the releases page for the /gh-gei repository. You can run the binary directly, without the gh prefix.

  1. Install the CLI. For installation instructions for CLI, see the CLI repository.

    Remarque

    You need version 2.4.0 or newer of CLI. You can check the version you have installed with the gh --version command.

  2. Install the GEI extension.

    Shell
    gh extension install /gh-gei
    

Any time you need help with the GEI extension, you can use the --help flag with a command. For example, gh gei --help will list all the available commands, and gh gei migrate-repo --help will list all the options available for the migrate-repo command.

The GEI extension is updated weekly. To make sure you're using the latest version, update the extension.

gh extension upgrade /gh-gei

Before you can use the GEI extension to migrate to Enterprise Cloud, you must create personal access tokens that can access the source and destination organizations, then set the personal access tokens as environment variables.

  1. Create and record a personal access token (classic) that will authenticate for the destination organization on Enterprise Cloud, making sure that the token meets all requirements. For more information, see Managing access for a migration between products.

  2. Create and record a personal access token that will authenticate for the source organization, making sure that this token also meets all of the same requirements.

  3. Set environment variables for the personal access tokens, replacing TOKEN in the commands below with the personal access tokens you recorded above. Use GH_PAT for the destination organization and GH_SOURCE_PAT for the source organization.

    • If you're using Terminal, use the export command.

      Shell
      export GH_PAT="TOKEN"
      export GH_SOURCE_PAT="TOKEN"
      
    • If you're using PowerShell, use the $env command.

      Shell
      $env:GH_PAT="TOKEN"
      $env:GH_SOURCE_PAT="TOKEN"
      
  4. If you're migrating to Enterprise Cloud with data residency, for convenience, set an environment variable for the base API URL for your enterprise.

    • If you're using Terminal, use the export command.

      Shell
      export TARGET_API_URL="https://api.octocorp.ghe.com"
      
    • If you're using PowerShell, use the $env command.

      Shell
      $env:TARGET_API_URL="https://api.octocorp.ghe.com"
      

    You'll use this variable with the --target-api-url option in commands you run with the CLI.

If you want to migrate multiple repositories to Enterprise Cloud at once, use the CLI to generate a migration script. The resulting script will contain a list of migration commands, one per repository.

Remarque

Generating a script outputs a PowerShell script. If you're using Terminal, you will need to output the script with the .ps1 file extension and install PowerShell for either Mac or Linux to run it.

If you want to migrate a single repository, skip to the next step.

To generate a migration script, run the gh gei generate-script command.

Shell
gh gei generate-script ---source-org SOURCE ---target-org DESTINATION --output FILENAME

If you downloaded GEI as a standalone binary rather than as an extension for the CLI, you will need to update your generated script to run the binary instead of gh gei.

Replace the placeholders in the command above with the following values.

PlaceholderValue
SOURCEName of the source organization
DESTINATIONName of the destination organization
FILENAMEA filename for the resulting migration script

If you're using Terminal, use a .ps1 file extension as the generated script requires PowerShell to run. You can install PowerShell for Mac or Linux.

ArgumentDescription
--target-api-url TARGET-API-URLIf you're migrating to GHE.com, add --target-api-url TARGET-API-URL, where TARGET-API-URL is the base API URL for your enterprise's subdomain. For example: https://api.octocorp.ghe.com.
--download-migration-logsDownload the migration log for each migrated repository. For more information about migration logs, see Accessing your migration logs for Enterprise Importer.

After you generate the script, review the file and, optionally, edit the script.

  • If there are any repositories you don't want to migrate, delete or comment out the corresponding lines.
  • If you want any repositories to have a different name in the destination organization, update the value for the corresponding --target-repo flag.
  • If you want to change the visibility of new repository, update the value for the corresponding --target-repo-visibility flag. By default, the script sets the same visibility as the source repository.

If your repository has more than 10 GB of releases data, releases cannot be migrated. Use the --skip-releases flag to migrate the repository without releases.

If you downloaded GEI as a standalone binary rather than as an extension for the CLI, you will need to update your generated script to run the binary instead of gh gei.

You can migrate multiple repositories with a migration script or a single repository with the gh gei migrate-repo command.

To migrate multiple repositories, run the script you generated above. Replace FILENAME in the commands below with the filename you provided when generating the script.

  • If you're using Terminal, use ./.

    Shell
    ./FILENAME
    
  • If you're using PowerShell, use .\.

    Shell
    .\FILENAME
    

To migrate a single repository, use the gh gei migrate-repo command.

Shell
gh gei migrate-repo ---source-org SOURCE --source-repo CURRENT-NAME ---target-org DESTINATION --target-repo NEW-NAME

Replace the placeholders in the command above with the following values.

PlaceholderValue
SOURCEName of the source organization
CURRENT-NAMEThe name of the repository you want to migrate
DESTINATIONName of the destination organization
NEW-NAMEThe name you want the migrated repository to have

ArgumentDescription
--target-api-url TARGET-API-URLIf you're migrating to GHE.com, add --target-api-url TARGET-API-URL, where TARGET-API-URL is the base API URL for your enterprise's subdomain. For example: https://api.octocorp.ghe.com.
--skip-releasesIf your repository has more than 10 GB of releases data, releases cannot be migrated. Use the --skip-releases flag to migrate the repository without releases.
--target-repo-visibility TARGET-VISIBILITYRepositories are migrated with private visibility by default. To set the visibility, you can add the --target-repo-visibility flag, specifying private, public, or internal. If you're migrating to an enterprise with managed users, public repositories are not available.

If you want to cancel a migration, use the abort-migration command, replacing MIGRATION-ID with the ID returned from migrate-repo.

Shell
gh gei abort-migration --migration-id MIGRATION-ID

When your migration is complete, we recommend reviewing your migration log. For more information, see Accessing your migration logs for Enterprise Importer.

We recommend that you review your migrated repositories for a soundness check.
