Completing the import on GitHub Enterprise Server
After your migration is applied to your target instance and you have reviewed the migration, you'll unlock the repositories and delete them off the source. Before deleting your source data we recommend waiting around two weeks to ensure that everything is functioning as expected.
Unlocking repositories on the target instance
-
SSH into your GitHub Enterprise Server instance.
$ ssh -p 122 admin@HOSTNAME
-
Unlock all the imported repositories with the
ghe-migrator unlock
command. You'll need your Migration GUID:$ ghe-migrator unlock -g MIGRATION_GUID> Unlocked octo-org/octo-project
Unlocking repositories on the source
Unlocking repositories from a GitHub.com organization
To unlock the repositories on a GitHub.com organization, you'll send a DELETE
request to the migration unlock endpoint. You'll need:
- Your access token for authentication
- The unique
id
of the migration -
The name of the repository to unlock
curl -H "Authorization: token GITHUB_ACCESS_TOKEN" -X DELETE \ -H "Accept: application/vnd.github.wyandotte-preview+json" \ https://api.github.com/orgs/orgname/migrations/id/repos/repo_name/lock
Deleting repositories from a GitHub.com organization
After unlocking the GitHub.com organization's repositories, you should delete every repository you previously migrated using the repository delete endpoint. You'll need your access token for authentication:
curl -H "Authorization: token GITHUB_ACCESS_TOKEN" -X DELETE \
https://api.github.com/repos/orgname/repo_name
