+# Import your project from Bitbucket to GitLab
+
+Import your projects from Bitbucket to GitLab with minimal effort.
+
+## Overview
+
+>**Note:**
+The [Bitbucket integration][bb-import] must be first enabled in order to be
+able to import your projects from Bitbucket. Ask your GitLab administrator
+to enable this if not already.
+
+- At its current state, the Bitbucket importer can import:
+  - the repository description (GitLab 7.7+)
+  - the Git repository data (GitLab 7.7+)
+  - the issues (GitLab 7.7+)
+  - the issue comments (GitLab 8.15+)
+  - the pull requests (GitLab 8.4+)
+  - the pull request comments (GitLab 8.15+)
+  - the milestones (GitLab 8.15+)
+  - the wiki (GitLab 8.15+)
+- References to pull requests and issues are preserved (GitLab 8.7+)
+- Repository public access is retained. If a repository is private in Bitbucket
+  it will be created as private in GitLab as well.
+
+
+## How it works
+
+When issues/pull requests are being imported, the Bitbucket importer tries to find
+the Bitbucket author/assignee in GitLab's database using the Bitbucket ID. For this
+to work, the Bitbucket author/assignee should have signed in beforehand in GitLab
+and **associated their Bitbucket account**. If the user is not
+found in GitLab's database, the project creator (most of the times the current
+user that started the import process) is set as the author, but a reference on
+the issue about the original Bitbucket author is kept.
+
+The importer will create any new namespaces (groups) if they don't exist or in
+the case the namespace is taken, the repository will be imported under the user's
+namespace that started the import process.
+
