The regular importer does not import the Github issues.

Yep, this is still an issue.

Just FYI, Gitlab has this button and it works \o/

@fro_oo I actually invested some hours to import a few hundred repos manually one by one, until I reached a low GitHub price plan. And now continue to migrate as we do work on a repo that's still on GitHub.

I wrote a script in node to migrate private repositories in a GitHub organization over to Bitbucket.

I just used it to migrate 67 repositories, some fairly large, in under an hour.

Same as Dennis Poort here. Still looking for the proper way to import my Github repositories (from my personal account & my organization account)...

@dennispoort @sandersu Found something?

Is there a workaround?

@olaroundme That sounds like a good idea, but only when you have public repositories.
In my case, the organization has a rather big price plan for private repositories. Changing owner would mean for me to double the monthly cost, or make everything public which is not an option.

Change the ownership of Repositories at GitHub from Organization to an account on gitHub. Connect that account with Bitbucket and you can start importing all the repos to GitHub.
