About migrating from GitLab with GitHub Actions Importer

The instructions below will guide you through configuring your environment to use {% data variables.product.prodname_actions_importer %} to migrate GitLab pipelines to {% data variables.product.prodname_actions %}.

Prerequisites

A GitLab account or organization with pipelines and jobs that you want to convert to {% data variables.product.prodname_actions %} workflows.
Access to create a GitLab {% data variables.product.pat_generic %} for your account or organization. {% data reusables.actions.actions-importer-prerequisites %}

Limitations

There are some limitations on migrating processes automatically from GitLab pipelines to {% data variables.product.prodname_actions %} with {% data variables.product.prodname_actions_importer %}.

Automatic caching in between jobs of different workflows is not supported.
The audit command is only supported when using an organization account. However, the dry-run and migrate commands can be used with an organization or user account.

Manual tasks

Certain GitLab constructs must be migrated manually. These include:

Masked project or group variable values
Artifact reports

For more information on manual migrations, see "AUTOTITLE."

Installing the {% data variables.product.prodname_actions_importer %} CLI extension

{% data reusables.actions.installing-actions-importer %}

Configuring credentials

The configure CLI command is used to set required credentials and options for {% data variables.product.prodname_actions_importer %} when working with GitLab and {% data variables.product.prodname_dotcom %}.

Create a {% data variables.product.prodname_dotcom %} {% data variables.product.pat_v1 %}. For more information, see "AUTOTITLE."

Your token must have the workflow scope.

After creating the token, copy it and save it in a safe location for later use.
Create a GitLab {% data variables.product.pat_generic %}. For more information, see {% data variables.product.pat_generic_caps_plural %} in the GitLab documentation.

Your token must have the read_api scope.

After creating the token, copy it and save it in a safe location for later use.
In your terminal, run the {% data variables.product.prodname_actions_importer %} configure CLI command:
```
gh actions-importer configure
```
The configure command will prompt you for the following information:
- For "Which CI providers are you configuring?", use the arrow keys to select GitLab, press Space to select it, then press Enter.
- For "{% data variables.product.pat_generic_caps %} for GitHub", enter the value of the {% data variables.product.pat_v1 %} that you created earlier, and press Enter.
- For "Base url of the GitHub instance", {% ifversion ghes %}enter the URL for your {% data variables.product.product_name %} instance, and press Enter.{% else %}press Enter to accept the default value (https://github.com).{% endif %}
- For "Private token for GitLab", enter the value for the GitLab {% data variables.product.pat_generic %} that you created earlier, and press Enter.
- For "Base url of the GitLab instance", enter the URL of your GitLab instance, and press Enter.
An example of the output of the configure command is shown below.
```
$ gh actions-importer configure
✔ Which CI providers are you configuring?: GitLab
Enter the following values (leave empty to omit):
✔ {% data variables.product.pat_generic_caps %} for GitHub: ***************
✔ Base url of the GitHub instance: https://github.com
✔ Private token for GitLab: ***************
✔ Base url of the GitLab instance: http://localhost
Environment variables successfully updated.
```
In your terminal, run the {% data variables.product.prodname_actions_importer %} update CLI command to connect to {% data variables.product.prodname_registry %} {% data variables.product.prodname_container_registry %} and ensure that the container image is updated to the latest version:
```
gh actions-importer update
```
The output of the command should be similar to below:
```
Updating ghcr.io/actions-importer/cli:latest...
ghcr.io/actions-importer/cli:latest up-to-date
```

Perform an audit of GitLab

You can use the audit command to get a high-level view of all pipelines in a GitLab server.

The audit command performs the following steps:

Fetches all of the projects defined in a GitLab server.
Converts each pipeline to its equivalent {% data variables.product.prodname_actions %} workflow.
Generates a report that summarizes how complete and complex of a migration is possible with {% data variables.product.prodname_actions_importer %}.

Prerequisites for the audit command

In order to use the audit command, you must have a {% data variables.product.pat_generic %} configured with a GitLab organization account.

Running the audit command

To perform an audit of a GitLab server, run the following command in your terminal, replacing my-gitlab-namespace with the namespace or group you are auditing:

gh actions-importer audit gitlab --output-dir tmp/audit --namespace my-gitlab-namespace

Inspecting the audit results

{% data reusables.actions.gai-inspect-audit %}

Forecast potential build runner usage

You can use the forecast command to forecast potential {% data variables.product.prodname_actions %} usage by computing metrics from completed pipeline runs in your GitLab server.

Running the forecast command

To perform a forecast of potential {% data variables.product.prodname_actions %} usage, run the following command in your terminal, replacing my-gitlab-namespace with the namespace or group you are forecasting. By default, {% data variables.product.prodname_actions_importer %} includes the previous seven days in the forecast report.

gh actions-importer forecast gitlab --output-dir tmp/forecast --namespace my-gitlab-namespace

Forecasting an entire namespace

To forecast an entire namespace and all of its subgroups, you must specify each subgroup in the --namespace argument or NAMESPACE environment variable.

For example:

gh actions-importer forecast gitlab --namespace my-gitlab-namespace my-gitlab-namespace/subgroup-one my-gitlab-namespace/subgroup-two ...

Inspecting the forecast report

The forecast_report.md file in the specified output directory contains the results of the forecast.

Listed below are some key terms that can appear in the forecast report:

The job count is the total number of completed jobs.
The pipeline count is the number of unique pipelines used.
Execution time describes the amount of time a runner spent on a job. This metric can be used to help plan for the cost of {% data variables.product.prodname_dotcom %}-hosted runners.
- This metric is correlated to how much you should expect to spend in {% data variables.product.prodname_actions %}. This will vary depending on the hardware used for these minutes. You can use the {% data variables.product.prodname_actions %} pricing calculator to estimate the costs.
Queue time metrics describe the amount of time a job spent waiting for a runner to be available to execute it.
Concurrent jobs metrics describe the amount of jobs running at any given time. This metric can be used to define the number of runners you should configure.

Additionally, these metrics are defined for each queue of runners in GitLab. This is especially useful if there is a mix of hosted or self-hosted runners, or high or low spec machines, so you can see metrics specific to different types of runners.

Perform a dry-run migration of a GitLab pipeline

You can use the dry-run command to convert a GitLab pipeline to its equivalent {% data variables.product.prodname_actions %} workflow.

Running the dry-run command

You can use the dry-run command to convert a GitLab pipeline to an equivalent {% data variables.product.prodname_actions %} workflow. A dry-run creates the output files in a specified directory, but does not open a pull request to migrate the pipeline.

To perform a dry run of migrating your GitLab pipelines to {% data variables.product.prodname_actions %}, run the following command in your terminal, replacing my-gitlab-project with the URL of your GitLab project, and my-gitlab-namespace with the namespace or group you are performing a dry run for.

gh actions-importer dry-run gitlab --output-dir tmp/dry-run --namespace my-gitlab-namespace --project my-gitlab-project

Inspecting the converted workflows

You can view the logs of the dry run and the converted workflow files in the specified output directory.

{% data reusables.actions.gai-custom-transformers-rec %}

Perform a production migration of a GitLab pipeline

You can use the migrate command to convert a GitLab pipeline and open a pull request with the equivalent {% data variables.product.prodname_actions %} workflow.

Running the migrate command

To migrate a GitLab pipeline to {% data variables.product.prodname_actions %}, run the following command in your terminal, replacing the following values:

target-url value with the URL for your {% data variables.product.product_name %} repository
my-gitlab-project with the URL for your GitLab project
my-gitlab-namespace with the namespace or group you are migrating

gh actions-importer migrate gitlab --target-url https://github.com/:owner/:repo --output-dir tmp/migrate --namespace my-gitlab-namespace --project my-gitlab-project

The command's output includes the URL to the pull request that adds the converted workflow to your repository. An example of a successful output is similar to the following:

$ gh actions-importer migrate gitlab --target-url https://github.com/octo-org/octo-repo --output-dir tmp/migrate --namespace octo-org --project monas-project
[2022-08-20 22:08:20] Logs: 'tmp/migrate/log/actions-importer-20220916-014033.log'
[2022-08-20 22:08:20] Pull request: 'https://github.com/octo-org/octo-repo/pull/1'

{% data reusables.actions.gai-inspect-pull-request %}

Reference

This section contains reference information on environment variables, optional arguments, and supported syntax when using {% data variables.product.prodname_actions_importer %} to migrate from GitLab.

Using environment variables

{% data reusables.actions.gai-config-environment-variables %}

{% data variables.product.prodname_actions_importer %} uses the following environment variables to connect to your GitLab instance:

GITHUB_ACCESS_TOKEN: The {% data variables.product.pat_v1 %} used to create pull requests with a converted workflow (requires the workflow scope).
GITHUB_INSTANCE_URL: The URL to the target {% data variables.product.prodname_dotcom %} instance (for example, https://github.com).
GITLAB_ACCESS_TOKEN: The GitLab {% data variables.product.pat_generic %} used to view GitLab resources.
GITLAB_INSTANCE_URL: The URL of the GitLab instance.
NAMESPACE: The namespaces or groups that contain the GitLab pipelines.

These environment variables can be specified in a .env.local file that is loaded by {% data variables.product.prodname_actions_importer %} when it is run.

Using optional arguments

{% data reusables.actions.gai-optional-arguments-intro %}

`--source-file-path`

You can use the --source-file-path argument with the forecast, dry-run, or migrate subcommands.

By default, {% data variables.product.prodname_actions_importer %} fetches pipeline contents from source control. The --source-file-path argument tells {% data variables.product.prodname_actions_importer %} to use the specified source file path instead.

For example:

gh actions-importer dry-run gitlab --output-dir output/ --namespace my-gitlab-namespace --project my-gitlab-project --source-file-path path/to/.gitlab-ci.yml

If you would like to supply multiple source files when running the forecast subcommand, you can use pattern matching in the file path value. The following example supplies {% data variables.product.prodname_actions_importer %} with any source files that match the ./tmp/previous_forecast/jobs/*.json file path.

gh actions-importer forecast gitlab --output-dir output/ --namespace my-gitlab-namespace --project my-gitlab-project --source-file-path ./tmp/previous_forecast/jobs/*.json

`--config-file-path`

You can use the --config-file-path argument with the audit, dry-run, and migrate subcommands.

By default, {% data variables.product.prodname_actions_importer %} fetches pipeline contents from source control. The --config-file-path argument tells {% data variables.product.prodname_actions_importer %} to use the specified source files instead.

The --config-file-path argument can also be used to specify which repository a converted reusable workflow should be migrated to.

Audit example

In this example, {% data variables.product.prodname_actions_importer %} uses the specified YAML configuration file to perform an audit.

gh actions-importer audit gitlab --output-dir path/to/output/ --namespace my-gitlab-namespace --config-file-path path/to/gitlab/config.yml

To audit a GitLab instance using a configuration file, the file must be in the following format, and each repository_slug value must be unique:

source_files:
  - repository_slug: namespace/project-name
    path: path/to/.gitlab-ci.yml
  - repository_slug: namespace/some-other-project-name
    path: path/to/.gitlab-ci.yml

Dry run example

In this example, {% data variables.product.prodname_actions_importer %} uses the specified YAML configuration file as the source file to perform a dry run.

The pipeline is selected by matching the repository_slug in the configuration file to the value of the --namespace and --project options. The path is then used to pull the specified source file.

gh actions-importer dry-run gitlab --namespace my-gitlab-namespace --project my-gitlab-project-name --output-dir ./output/ --config-file-path ./path/to/gitlab/config.yml

Specify the repository of converted reusable workflows

{% data variables.product.prodname_actions_importer %} uses the YAML file provided to the --config-file-path argument to determine the repository that converted reusable workflows are migrated to.

To begin, you should run an audit without the --config-file-path argument:

gh actions-importer audit gitlab --output-dir ./output/

The output of this command will contain a file named config.yml that contains a list of all the composite actions that were converted by {% data variables.product.prodname_actions_importer %}. For example, the config.yml file may have the following contents:

reusable_workflows:
  - name: my-reusable-workflow.yml
    target_url: https://github.com/octo-org/octo-repo
    ref: main

You can use this file to specify which repository and ref a reusable workflow or composite action should be added to. You can then use the --config-file-path argument to provide the config.yml file to {% data variables.product.prodname_actions_importer %}. For example, you can use this file when running a migrate command to open a pull request for each unique repository defined in the config file:

gh actions-importer migrate gitlab --project my-project-name --output-dir output/ --config-file-path config.yml --target-url https://github.com/my-org/my-repo
