 # Import your project from GitHub to GitLab

 

-It takes just a couple of steps to import your existing GitHub projects to GitLab. Keep in mind that it is possible only if

-GitHub support is enabled on your GitLab instance. You can read more about GitHub support [here](http://doc.gitlab.com/ce/integration/github.html)

+_**Note:** In order to enable the GitHub import setting, you should first

+enable the [GitHub integration][gh-import] in your GitLab instance._

 

-If you want to import from a GitHub Enterprise instance, you need to use GitLab Enterprise; please see the [EE docs for the GitHub integration](http://doc.gitlab.com/ee/integration/github.html).

+At its current state, GitHub importer can import:

 

-* Sign in to GitLab.com and go to your dashboard.

-* To get to the importer page, you need to go to the "New project" page.

+- the repository description

+- the git repository data

+- the issues

+- the pull requests

+- the wiki pages

 

-![New project page](github_importer/new_project_page.png)

+The importer page is visible when you [create a new project][new-project].

+Click on the **GitHub** link and you will be redirected to GitHub for

+permission to access your projects. After accepting, you'll be automatically

+redirected to the importer.

 

-* Click on the "Import project from GitHub" link and you will be redirected to GitHub for permission to access your projects. After accepting, you'll be automatically redirected to the importer.

+---

 

-* To import a project, you can simple click "Add". The importer will import your repository, issues, and pull requests. Once the importer is done, a new GitLab project will be created with your imported data.

+While at the GitHub importer page, you can see the import statuses of your

+GitHub projects. Those that are being imported will show a _started_ status,

+those already imported will be green, whereas those that are not yet imported

+have an **Import** button on the right side of the table. If you want, you can

+import all your GitHub projects in one go by hitting **Import all projects**

+in the upper left corner.

+

+The importer will create any new namespaces if they don't exist or in the

+case the namespace is taken, the project will be imported on the user's

+namespace.

 

 ### Note

-When you import your projects from GitHub, it is not possible to keep your labels, milestones, and cross-repository pull requests. We are working on improving this in the near future.
