"A competitor willing to make it easy for GitHub project maintainers to migrate to their services could actually make use of GitHub APIs and provide an automated migration system."

This is what we did at GitLab, you can import multiple projects with repos, wikis, issues and pull requests in one go.

Yup, thank you. :)

I like Github, but I've had Gitlab repos for a few years because they allow me to keep some projects "off the books" without having to pay. So, thank you again for this.

I've also used your CI, which is great. I've recommended it to a few clients, so thank you again!

You guys have done a great job for the community and I wish you all the best!

Great to hear that equalarrow, thanks for recommending GitLab and have a great weekend!

Oh wow, I had no idea there was a "github with free private repos". Just signed up, can't wait to push a few projects.

Thank you!

You're welcome, thanks for signing up.
