(Automatically) migrate CodePlex project to GitHub

Question

I'm thinking about migrating my projects from CodePlex to GitHub.

What is the best way to migrate everything (wiki, issues, etc.) from CodePlex to GitHub?

Does someone know a tool to do that?

The most time consuming part would be the migration of all the wiki pages and add a link to their new home.

Am I right, that you have migrated your code without any problems? – Charest

The problem is not the code (it's git). It's all the wiki pages, issues, etc... Is there a tool which can do that? (In my case it's mostly the wiki) – Weinberg

Answer 1

There doesn't seem to be existing tool for automating the process of:

• exporting Codeplex issue (an API is in demand since 2010), even though the import to GitHub could be automated with the GitHub issue API
• export Codeplex wiki page, even though the import would be as simple as adding text file in a Git repo, since a GitHub wiki is in a Git repo.
  Plus the format of Codeplex wiki markup isn't exactly a standard one, as illustrated by their Wiki Markup Guide - Links & Files section.
  Some conversion is needed, in order to match the GFM (GitHub Flavored Markdown).
