Migrating Repo from Gitlab to Azure DevOps

Question

I am migrating repositories (.Net, Angular) from GitLab to Azure DevOps. Can't find much documentation on the implications of this migration.

My questions are:

1. Do all remote branches gets migrated? With all commits and comments?
2. Does Azure DevOps support sub-folder type repository structure?

Any precautions/best practices I may have to consider.

1. Yes. 2. Do you mean to git sub-modules? – Abatis

No. a repository has multiple folders inside. – Goolsby

See my answer below (check the link there, is a good tutorial how to import). – Abatis

Does Azure also import the Merge Request and issue details? – Placido

Answer 1

Yes, when you import a Git repository from GitLab (or any Git server) to Azure DevOps, all the branches and folders will be imported with all the history (commits).
