# Import your project from GitHub to GitLab
|
|
|
|
_**Note:** In order to enable the GitHub import setting, you should first
|
|
enable the [GitHub integration][gh-import] in your GitLab instance._
|
|
|
|
At its current state, GitHub importer can import:
|
|
|
|
- the repository description
|
|
- the git repository data
|
|
- the issues
|
|
- the pull requests
|
|
- the wiki pages
|
|
|
|
The importer page is visible when you [create a new project][new-project].
|
|
Click on the **GitHub** link and you will be redirected to GitHub for
|
|
permission to access your projects. After accepting, you'll be automatically
|
|
redirected to the importer.
|
|
|
|

|
While at the GitHub importer page, you can see the import statuses of your
|
|
GitHub projects. Those that are being imported will show a _started_ status,
|
|
those already imported will be green, whereas those that are not yet imported
|
|
have an **Import** button on the right side of the table. If you want, you can
|
|
import all your GitHub projects in one go by hitting **Import all projects**
|
|
in the upper left corner.
|
|
|
|
|

|
The importer will create any new namespaces if they don't exist or in the
|
|
case the namespace is taken, the project will be imported on the user's
|
|
namespace.
|
|
|
|
### Note
|
|
|
|
When you import your projects from GitHub, it is not possible to keep your
|
|
labels, milestones, and cross-repository pull requests. We are working on
|
|
improving this in the near future.
