REST API endpoints for user migrations
Use the REST API to review, backup, or migrate your user data stored on GitHub Enterprise Cloud.com.
About user migrations
These endpoints are only available to authenticated account owners. For more information, see "Authenticating to the REST API".
You can use these endpoints to review, backup, or migrate your user data stored on GitHub.com. For a list of migration data that you can download, see "Download a user migration archive."
To download an archive, you'll need to start a user migration first. Once the status of the migration is exported
, you can download the migration.
Once you've created a migration archive, it will be available to download for seven days. But, you can delete the user migration archive sooner if you'd like. You can unlock your repository when the migration is exported
to begin using your repository again or delete the repository if you no longer need the source data.
List user migrations
Lists all migrations a user has started.
