Move from GitHub

Bring a repository's history, branches and tags to Lorx, and its pull requests with their comments and reviews.

For agents: this page as Markdown

Bring the code

Create an empty repository on Lorx first (in the web, or bit repo create app), then:

git clone --bare https://github.com/you/app.git
cd app.git
git push --mirror https://git.lorx.space/you/app.git

Use --bare, not --mirror, for the clone. A mirror clone also fetches GitHub's refs/pull/*, which Lorx refuses, so the push would fail.

Bring the pull requests

bit import github you/app

This brings every pull request over as a change request with the same number, with its commits, comments and reviews. It reads GitHub with GITHUB_TOKEN, or with gh auth token if the GitHub CLI is signed in. That token is only ever sent to GitHub, never to Lorx.

  • Run it again at any time: it adds only what's new.
  • --to owner/name imports into a differently named repository on Lorx.
