About mannequins

After you run a migration with GitHub Enterprise Importer, all user activity in the migrated repository (except Git commits) is attributed to placeholder identities called mannequins.

Each mannequin only has a display name, which comes from the display name in the source repository. Mannequins do not have organization membership or repository access. Mannequins always use the same avatar, a ghost octocat, and include a mannequin label following the display name.

You can reattribute the history for each mannequin to an organization member with the GitHub CLI or in your browser. If you use the GitHub CLI, you can reclaim mannequins in bulk.

Reclaiming is optional and can happen any time after a migration is finished. For this reason, you can allow your team to begin working in migrated repositories before reclaiming.

Mannequins are not used for Git commit attribution. For more details about commit attribution, see "Managing authorship for commit commits" below.

Reclaiming mannequins

You can reclaim mannequins with GitHub CLI (recommended) or the browser.

• Reclaiming mannequins with the GitHub CLI (recommended)
• Reclaiming mannequins in your browser

By default, reclaiming a mannequin will send an attribution invitation to the target user.

The target user can choose to accept or reject the invitation. After a user accepts an attribution invitation, all contributions previously attributed to the mannequin will be attributed to the user instead. In future migrations to the same organization, any contributions from the same mannequin will be automatically reclaimed for the same user.

If your organization uses Enterprise Managed Users and you choose to reclaim mannequins with the GitHub CLI, you can optionally skip the invitation process, immediately reclaiming the mannequin without the user's approval.

GitHub Enterprise Importer does not migrate user access to repositories. After reclaiming mannequins, if any of the users do not already have appropriate access to the repository via team membership, you must separately give the users access to the repository. For more information, see "Managing an individual's access to an organization repository."

Reclaiming mannequins with the GitHub CLI (recommended)

You can use the GitHub CLI to reclaim mannequins individually or in bulk. For more information about installing and updating migration extensions for the GitHub CLI, see "About GitHub Enterprise Importer."

The exact command you need to use depends on which extension of the GitHub CLI that you're using.

• Reclaiming mannequins with the GEI extension
• Reclaiming mannequins with the ADO2GH extension

Reclaiming mannequins with the GEI extension

If your migration source is a GitHub product, you can reclaim mannequins with the GEI extension of the GitHub CLI.

If you don't already have a GH_PAT environment variable set for a personal access token with access to the destination organization, add --github-target-pat TOKEN to each of the commands below, replacing TOKEN with the personal access token. For personal access token requirements, see "Managing access for a migration between GitHub products."

1. Optionally, to reclaim mannequins in bulk, create a CSV file that maps mannequins to organization members.

   • To generate a CSV file with a list of mannequins for an organization, use the gh gei generate-mannequin-csv command, replacing DESTINATION with the destination organization and FILENAME with a file name for the resulting CSV file.

     Optionally, to include mannequins that have already been reclaimed, add the --include-reclaimed flag.

     Shell

     gh gei generate-mannequin-csv --github-target-org DESTINATION --output FILENAME.csv
     

   • Edit the CSV file, adding the username of the organization member that corresponds to each mannequin.

   • Save the file.

2. To reclaim mannequins, use the gh gei reclaim-mannequin command.

   • To reclaim mannequins in bulk with the mapping file you created earlier, replace DESTINATION with the destination organization and FILENAME with the file name of the mapping file.

     Shell

     gh gei reclaim-mannequin --github-target-org DESTINATION --csv FILENAME.csv
     

   • To reclaim an individual mannequin, replace DESTINATION with the destination organization, MANNEQUIN with the login of mannequin, and USERNAME with the username of the organization member that corresponds to the mannequin.

     If there are multiple mannequins with the same login, you can replace --mannequin-user MANNEQUIN with --mannequin-ID ID, replacing ID with the ID of the mannequin.

     If your organization uses Enterprise Managed Users and you want to skip the attribution invitation to reclaim the mannequin immediately, add the --skip-invitation argument.

     Shell

     gh gei reclaim-mannequin --github-target-org DESTINATION --mannequin-user MANNEQUIN --target-user USERNAME
     

By default, the organization member will receive an invitation via email, and the mannequin will not be reclaimed until the member accepts the invitation.

Reclaiming mannequins with the ADO2GH extension

If your migration source is Azure DevOps, you can reclaim mannequins with the ADO2GH extension of the GitHub CLI.

If you don't already have a GH_PAT environment variable set for a personal access token with access to the destination organization, add --github-target-pat TOKEN to each of the commands below, replacing TOKEN with the personal access token. For personal access token requirements, see "Managing access for a migration from Azure DevOps."

1. Optionally, to reclaim mannequins in bulk, create a CSV file that maps mannequins to organization members.

   • To generate a CSV file with a list of mannequins for an organization, use the gh ado2gh generate-mannequin-csv command, replacing DESTINATION with the destination organization and FILENAME with a file name for the resulting CSV file.

     Optionally, to include mannequins that have already been reclaimed, add the --include-reclaimed flag.

     Shell

     gh ado2gh generate-mannequin-csv --github-org DESTINATION --output FILENAME.csv
     

   • Edit the CSV file, adding the username of the organization member that corresponds to each mannequin.

   • Save the file.

2. To reclaim mannequins, use the gh ado2gh reclaim-mannequin command.

   • To reclaim mannequins in bulk with the mapping file you created earlier, replace DESTINATION with the destination organization and FILENAME with the file name of the mapping file.

     Shell

     gh ado2gh reclaim-mannequin --github-org DESTINATION --csv FILENAME.csv
     

   • To reclaim an individual mannequin, replace DESTINATION with the destination organization, MANNEQUIN with the login of mannequin, and USERNAME with the username of the organization member that corresponds to the mannequin.

     If there are multiple mannequins with the same login, you can replace --mannequin-user MANNEQUIN with --mannequin-ID ID, replacing ID with the ID of the mannequin.

     If your organization uses Enterprise Managed Users and you want to skip the attribution invitation to reclaim the mannequin immediately, add the --skip-invitation argument.

     Shell

     gh ado2gh reclaim-mannequin --github-org DESTINATION --mannequin-user MANNEQUIN --target-user USERNAME
     

By default, the organization member will receive an invitation via email, and the mannequin will not be reclaimed until the member accepts the invitation.

Reclaiming mannequins in your browser

Managing authorship for Git commits

Authorship for Git commits is not associated with mannequins and cannot be attributed to GitHub users by reclaiming mannequins. Instead, commit authorship is attributed to user accounts on GitHub based on the email address that was used to author the commit in Git.

In many cases, users can reattribute commits to themselves by adding the email address used to author the commit to their user account on GitHub. For more information, see "Adding an email address to your GitHub account."

However, if you use Enterprise Managed Users, users cannot add email addresses to their user account on GitHub and will therefore not be able to reattribute Git commits. Only commits authored by a user's primary email address in your identity provider (IdP) will be attributed to managed user accounts.

Additionally, commits authored by a GitHub-provided noreply email address cannot be reattributed, because you can't manually add a noreply email address to a user account. For more information, see "Setting your commit email address."
