Almost 500 tasks, comments, attachments and key metadata transferred in about 4 hours

About the project

An automated migrator moves tasks from Jira to GitHub Issues and adds them to GitHub Projects. Descriptions, working fields, comments and attachments move together with the tasks, keeping the context that matters to the team.

You prepare the project structure in GitHub and set up the field mapping. After the start, the system transfers the tasks one by one and fills in the data. Attachments are uploaded to a private repository, and links to them appear in the comments of the corresponding tasks.

With the migrator, almost 500 tasks were transferred in about 4 hours — instead of hundreds of repetitive manual actions.

How it works

  1. You set up the field mapping
  2. The system gets the tasks from Jira
  3. Creates GitHub Issues and adds them to the Project
  4. Transfers fields, comments and attachments

Features

  • Creating GitHub Issues with descriptions and automatically adding them to GitHub Projects.

  • Mapping statuses, priorities, severity and task types to the fields of the new project.

  • Preserving information about the author, assignee and dates of the task.

  • Automatic transfer of comments and files with links to the attachments.

  • Batch processing of tasks with pauses between requests to respect GitHub limits.

Where it can be used

  • Development and QA teams moving from Jira to GitHub.
  • Organizations that combine code and task management in one environment.
  • Other migration scenarios between task-management systems — with adaptation of the integrations and data-mapping rules.
