Git Project Management

A Python 3 script to migrate milestones, labels, and issues between repositories.

There was once no easy way to migrate your team's collaborative work (Milestones, Labels, Issues) to another repository. This was especially thorny for teams moving a project into GitHub Enterprise, or open sourcing an existing project by moving it out of GitHub Enterprise. This is a tool to help that process.

Dependencies

Git Project Management uses Python scripts. You'll need PyGithub, and argparse installed. Install them with pip: pip install PyGithub argparse.

Running the project takes multiple arguments and was inspired by a Python 2

Usage

$ git-mover.py [-h] [--destinationToken [DESTINATIONTOKEN]]
                    [--destinationUserName [DESTINATIONUSERNAME]]
                    [--sourceRoot [SOURCEROOT]]
                    [--destinationRoot [DESTINATIONROOT]] [--milestones]
                    [--labels] [--issues]
                    user_name token source_repo destination_repo

Example Script

git-mover.py user_name ***TOKEN HERE*** <team_name>/<repo_name> <team_name>/<repo_name> --milestones --label --issues --update

For authentication, Git Project Management uses a personal access token, which can be generated in your GitHub Profile settings.
