GitHub Actions Migration from on-prem build tools

GitHub Actions Importer

Question

Body

Hi folks!

We are planning to migrate from Jenkins, Bamboo and some other tools to GitHub actions. I see that there is a GitHub Actions Importer available but requires manual steps and configuration.

Can GitHub Copilot help or is there any other automation tool which can be used to for the same.

Hi @manasanttdata!

GitHub CoPilot might be able to help but that will depend on your familiarity with the tool - it doesn't have a native migrator for this exact use case, but you may be able to find a way to apply it to that.

Although it requires some configuration, the GitHub Actions Importer is the most efficient way to migrate your CI/CD supported pipelines to GitHub Actions.

GAI will be a good starting point for migrating from Jenkins to Bamboo. Be aware though, that while it does create GitHUb Actions workflows that may run, they aren't necessarily best practice. So you will still end up having to probably modify the code some. But it is a great way to get started with actions and migrations, and can speed the process along.

GAI does require you to have access to Docker, as it runs in a docker container
