About repository imports with GitHub Importer

GitHub Importer is not suitable for all imports. For example, if your existing code is hosted on a private network, our tool won't be able to access it. In these cases, we recommend importing using the command line for Git repositories or an external source code migration tool for projects imported from other version control systems.

Warning: Support for importing Mercurial, Subversion and Team Foundation Version Control (TFVC) repositories using GitHub Importer will end on April 12, 2024. For more information, see the changelog.

If you'd like to match the commits in your repository to the authors' GitHub personal accounts during the import, make sure every contributor to your repository has a GitHub account before you begin the import.

Repositories and individual files are subject to size limits. For more information, see "About large files on GitHub"

For more information about migration paths to GitHub from other products, or between GitHub products, see "Migration paths to GitHub."
