REPOSITORY MIGRATION PLANNING · Workflow idea

Move project repositories with a plan for access, history, and verification.

Inventory repositories in an approved source group and prepare proposed destinations in the target organization. Identify name conflicts and access considerations before copying anything, preserve a recovery path, and require both organization owners to approve the scope and destination before migration begins.

01 / The starting point

A clear request.
A useful direction.

A change request approved by owners of the source group and destination organization

“Prepare a reviewable repository migration plan and hold all transfers for explicit owner approval.”
An example request · Make it specific to your team.

02 / The work

5 tasks.
One useful outcome.

Helps engineering and IT teams organize a group of repositories for a controlled move between organizations.

  1. Confirm the source and destination owners

    Verify that both organizations authorize the migration and identify responsible contacts.

  2. Inventory repositories in scope

    List approved projects and note their current owners, visibility, and important dependencies.

  3. Identify conflicts and access needs

    Flag existing destination names, restricted projects, required collaborators, and special handling.

  4. Prepare a recovery and verification plan

    Describe how owners will compare repository contents and restore access if an issue occurs.

  5. Approve before moving projects

    Require authorized source and destination owners to approve the precise project list and destination settings.

03 / The result

Something useful.
Something to build on.

A repository inventory with proposed destinations, conflicts, access checks, and migration approval status.

The handoff

A repository inventory with proposed destinations, conflicts, access checks, and migration approval status.

Keep in mind

A migration can disrupt development, change visibility, or expose private source code if the destination is misconfigured. Verify repository scope, owners, permissions, destination visibility, and recovery options, then require both authorized owners to approve the exact migration before any repository is copied or made accessible.

04 / Make it yours

Set the brief.
Set the standard.

A few choices shape the work around your team.

Define migration scope and timing

Choose included repositories, a suitable maintenance window, and the accountable change owner.

Review access and visibility

Map collaborators, teams, and visibility settings before and after the move.

Preserve history and recovery options

Specify how repository history, backups, and rollback are checked.

Assign approvals on both sides

Name who authorizes the source scope and who accepts repositories into the destination.
