Migrating a GitLab Repository

Prerequisites

• Before importing a GitLab repository, you need to configure a personal access token for GitLab by referring to Obtaining an Access Token from GitLab.
• A maximum of 100 repositories can be imported at a time.

2. Set the repository type to Imported, import from GitLab, and select By personal access token for Authorization.

   If an error message indicating authorization failure is displayed, it means your access token is incorrect or invalid. In this case, reconfigure your access token in GitLab by referring to Obtaining an Access Token from GitLab.
