Yes, but they simplified it a lot. I just connected to github, chose the repository and clicked import. Maybe all of those services have it that way, but I'm just glad that GitLab had it.

That is a different case than configuring a different remote on config and pushing to another host which is what I interpreted reading your comment, my bad.

Out of curiosity, does the import process include all issues, PR and comments?

almost, yes. issues, wiki, PRs and comments are imported. Afaik cross repo PRs are not supported yet. But they're working on that. :)
