Yeah, I'm literally looking at GitLab's "Migrate from GitHub" page on their docs site right now. If there's a way to import issues and projects I could be sold.

If you're considering moving away from github due to problems with reliability/outages, then any migration to gitlab will not make you happy.

Thanks for the heads up.

I wish more people used git-bug. It stores issues and PRs in git (not as branches or tags but as special refs that don't pollute the output when you list branches), and have bridges from/to github and other sites

It's like the fossil model, but on Git

https://github.com/git-bug/git-bug

If everyone used it, it would eliminate this specific form of lock in

That is what that feature does. It imports issues and code and more (not sure about "projects", don't use that feature on Github).

Maybe it's be reasonable to script using the glab and gh clis? I've never tried anything like that, but I regularly use the glab cli and it's pretty comprehensive.

No need – it imports pretty much anything you can reliably import from GitHub, including issues and PRs (with comments): https://docs.gitlab.com/user/project/import/github/#imported...
