I have recently migrated private repositories from GitHub to AWS CodeCommit, it would take more times if you are doing manually. So, how did we migrate all of our GitHub repositories automatically at once? Yes, we can do it using simple shell scripts.

Create a file with .sh format and copy the below code and set write (execute) permission,

migrate-github-codecommit.sh



GITHUB_ORG="ORG"

curl --silent -u USERNAME:PASSWORD https://api.github.com/orgs/$GITHUB_ORG/repos?per_page=100 -q | grep "\"name\"" | awk -F': "' '{print $2}' | sed -e 's/",//g' >> ~/codecommit/repository.txt

mkdir ~/github && cd ~/github

echo "start"   

cat repository.txt | while read next                       

echo "Repository Name $next"  



do

  echo $next

  aws codecommit create-repository --repository-name $next --region us-east-1

  git clone --mirror git@github.com:$GITHUB_ORG/$next.git

  cd ~/gihub/$next.git

git push https://USERNAME:PASSWORD@git-codecommit.us-east-1.amazonaws.com/v1/repos/$next --all

git push https://USERNAME:PASSWORD@git-codecommit.us-east-1.amazonaws.com/v1/repos/$next --tags

 sleep 10

  aws codecommit update-default-branch --repository-name $next --default-branch-name master --region us-east-1

done


Note: If you have any login credentials for github just includes it.

Execute permission for .sh file, and run this script.

 chmod +x migrate-github-codecommit.sh


Testing - If you want to delete all the repositories from  github quickly use below script,



while read repo; do

  echo $repo

  curl -X DELETE -u PASSWORD:PASSWORD https://api.github.com/repos/$GIT_ORG/$repo

done < ~/codecommit/repository.txt
