Instructions for migrating a repo from GitHub Enterprise Server to GitHub Enterprise Cloud using `gh gei` with an unsupported blob storage provider or a supported blob storage provider using an unsupported authentication mechanism

These instructions explain how to migrate a repo from GitHub Enterprise Server to GitHub Enterprise Cloud using the gh gei CLI when either:

  • (a) you want to use an unsupported blob storage provider; or
  • (b) you want to use a supported blob storage provider with different authentication

The following instructions assume that you have curl and jq installed. There are available for Linux, macOS and Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL).

  1. Make a note of your GitHub Enterprise Server hostname (e.g. github.acmecorp.com) and expose it as the GHES_HOST environment variable: export GHES_HOST=github.acmecorp.com.
  2. Make a note of the GitHub Enterprise Server organization that owns your origin repo, and expose it as the GHES_ORGANIZATION environment variable: export GHES_ORGANIZATION=engineering.
  3. Make a note of the name of the repo you are migrating in GitHub Enterprise Server, and expose it as the GHES_REPO environment variable: export GHES_REPO=webapp.
