bitbucket2gitlab

Port your issues over from bitbucket.

This script is kindly taken from https://github.com/Inbot/bitbucket2gitlab. Modified README for the gitlab-recipes repository.

Instructions

Note: It is recommended to test this with a test project in GitLab that you can discard before running this against the real thing.

1. From bitbucket go to the project's settings and then select Import & export. Start the export and you should get a zip file with a json file inside.
2. Unzip it and place db-1.0.json in the same folder as the script.
3. Modify the global variables inside bitbucket2gitlab.rb to match your project settings.
4. Run ruby ./bitbucket2gitlab.rb.
5. Repeat steps 1-4 for all your other projects.

Limitations

• It gets you the raw content (comments and issues) but things like milestones, assignments, create timestamps, etc. are lost.
• The order of the imported comments is probably wrong (should be sorted by timestamp).
• There is no duplication check, which is annoying if the script breaks mid import for whatever reason and you need to run it again.
• Attachments are not supported currently.
