We started this chapter by explaining what items can be migrated from GitHub to GitLab, and what the possibilities are. There are three options regarding migrating your data, and which ones you can use depend on how your GitLab instance is configured. The recommended way is to use the GitHub importer. This mechanism presents the most user-friendly and complete migration path.

GitHub and GitLab are very comparable, but in the next chapter, we will take a look at CVS and how it compares to Git as a versioning tool, and how to migrate it.
