I've been using gitlab on a private server for development. Unfortunately, requiring a dual core, 2GB RAM VPS purely for the purpose of holding git repos for a couple of people is not cost effective. I would like to migrate to the free gitlab hosted accounts.
Is there are way to transfer a repo and issues to gitlab hosted servers?
It depends on your Gitlab version. They added an import/export feature in 8.9. If you have a lower version you can update to the current version and export your data afterwards.
The following items will be exported:
- Project and wiki repositories
- Project uploads
- Project configuration including web hooks and services
- Issues with comments, merge requests with diffs and comments, labels, milestones, snippets, and other project entities
The following items will NOT be exported:
- Build traces and artifacts
- LFS objects
