GitLab Hierarchy Migration

This script will migrate the Group/Project hierarchy from one GitLab instance to another. The script makes a number of assumptions:

Assumptions

• There is only one level to the hierarchy being migrated.
• The top-level group id to create all groups/projects under is hard-coded.

How to run

Edit Global Consts

Migrate one GitLab structure to another instance:

Provided you edit the Global CONST variables in file index.js:

• URLS
• TOKENS

You can query the structure of one GitLab instance and re-create it on another. It creates all groups/projects the user has access to, creating bare-bones repositories for each.

If there are projects you do not have privileges for, the script will return an error, so it is advisable to log output e.g.

yarn test >>test.log 2>&1

Run script

yarn install
yarn test
