Will there be a migration tool for Azure DevOps to GitHub Enterprise?

At work we are contemplating this migration, and a migration tool will be immensely helpful. Some of the things that needs migrations:

• Repos with Git histories
• Projects and Backlog items
• CI/CD pipelines to GH Actions
• Wiki

I would be very excited for the CI/CD pipeline migration tool

In the meantime, check this tool out: https://pipelinestoactions.azurewebsites.net/
Written by a MS engineer and it does a pretty good job.

@Damovisa That's great. I was looking towards more of wholesome migration. Is there any easy way to leverage both GH as well as Azure DevOps APIs to perform the migration?

@Sayan751 @ntindle - Clarifying @wulfland's comments, we actually have a couple of internal/pre-release tools. The first is currently in very limited private usage by GitHub employees and is really available at the API level only. It is currently repo-focused migrations (with metadata) and not Pipelines/Actions. We're not ready to release that one publicly yet but it is slated to be made available at some point. There are no announcements at this time.

A second internal tool targeting Actions migrations (including Azure Pipelines) is being used internally by GitHub today. That one may or may not actually get productized. Because all of the CI/CD tools are very different under the covers, there are many practices and skills needed in addition to the actual tools. We continue to evolve the tool and would like to make it more broadly available but I'm not aware of any concrete plans.

Just as others mentioned, there is one available for Beta, but this is restricted to our customers requesting for Beta access. If your company is already engaged with GitHub Expert Service team and interested in trying this out, let us know.

@bryantson Thanks for the info. Attempting a migration at this point seems like too much effort for our team. We might wait for a bit longer for a stable migration tool.
