Gitlab to Forgejo migration script

--== WIP ==--

While the script seems to work it has not been tested extensively

This script uses the Gitlab and Forgejo API's to migrate all data from Gitlab to Forgejo.

This script support migrating the following data:

Repositories & Wiki (fork status is lost)
Users (no profile pictures)
Groups
Public SSH keys

Tested with Gitlab Version 17.2.1 and Forgejo Version 8.0.0

Usage

How to use with venv

To keep your local system clean, it is preferrable to use a virtual environment. You can follow these steps:

python3 -m venv migration-env
source migration-env/bin/activate
python3 -m pip install -r requirements.txt

Then start the migration script python3 migrate.py

ini file

You need to create a configuration file called .migrate.ini and store it in the same directory of the script.
💡 .migrate.ini has been added to .gitignore.

[migrate]
gitlab_url = https://gitlab.example.com
gitlab_token = <your-gitlab-token>
gitlab_admin_user = gitlab-user
gitlab_admin_pass = <your-gitlab-password>
forgejo_url = https://forgejo.example.com
forgejo_token = <your-forgejo-token>

Credits and fork information
