GitHub to Gitea/Forgejo Migration Script

Plain simple, just install Nushell and run the script:

./migrate.nu --help

You can either specify all the CLI flags for a uninteractive run, or run the script like so:

./migrate.nu

And get a nice interactive experience.

This works on any Gitea or Forgejo instance.

FAQ

What is the difference between mirroring and cloning?

• Mirroring: Will get updated every now and then, keeping the repository in sync with the remote.

• Cloning: Will only clone the remote, and will not update or link to it anywhere in the repository. This is good for when you are migrating off GitHub permanently and will never come back.

Can I migrate specific repositories?

Sure, just pass the URLs to them as arguments:

./migrate.nu https://github.com/RGBCube/Foo https://github.com/RGBCube/Bar
