GitHub to Azure DevOps Migration Without Downtime

Overview

Migrating from GitHub to Azure DevOps is more than moving issues. Your issues, comments, attachments, commit information, pull requests, and development context must move with them, so teams can continue working with the information they need after migration.

OpsHub Migration Manager provides a GUI-based, no-code migration experience with reusable mappings that simplify migration setup.Teams can continue working in GitHub while the migration runs in parallel, and ongoing changes can be synchronized until the final cutover. This allows you to validate the migrated environment before transitioning to Azure DevOps with minimal disruption.

Whether you're consolidating development platforms, standardizing engineering processes, or modernizing your development workflows, OpsHub helps you migrate from GitHub to Azure DevOps while preserving your issue data and development context.
