GitLab migrations seem to be hard to pull off and rather time-consuming, but I found this tool automated and transferred my organization from GitLab.com to my self-hosted instance rather seamlessly. What have others used?
We tried enabling CI/CD for our repo on Gitlab but my account was in some weird shadow-ban state where I couldn't see the CI/CD settings page that Gitlab's documentation was alluding to. Consequently, we sought Github.
We didn't have any vendor tie-in to Gitlab and our migration was just changing the Git remote repo.
With CI/CD, we now have vendor tie-in. Given that it took us a few hours and a few attempts to setup Github actions, and Gitlab is likely on the same order of magnitude of effort, the vendor tie-in doesn't seem to strong.
