Preparing the GitHub.com source organization
Before migrating repositories from a GitHub.com organization, ensure that you have the proper authentication and administrative access.
-
Ensure that you have owner permissions on the source organization's repositories.
-
Generate an access token with the
repo
andadmin:org
scopes on GitHub.com. -
To minimize downtime, make a list of repositories you want to export from the source instance. You can add multiple repositories to an export at once using a text file that lists the URL of each repository on a separate line.
