Import project from FogBugz

To import your project from FogBugz:

  1. In the upper-right corner, select Create new ({{< icon name="plus" >}}) and New project/repository.
  2. Select Import project.
  3. Select FogBugz.
  4. Enter your FogBugz URL, email address, and password.
  5. Create a mapping from FogBugz users to GitLab users. For each FogBugz user:
    • To map a FogBugz account to a full name, without mapping it to a GitLab account, leave the GitLab User text box empty. This mapping adds the user's full name to the description of all issues and comments, but assigns the issues and comments to the project creator.
    • To map a FogBugz account to a GitLab account, in GitLab User, select the GitLab user you want to associate issues and comments with.
  6. When all users are mapped, select Continue to the next step.
  7. To import a project:
    • For the first time: Select Import.
    • Again: Select Re-import. Specify a new name and select Re-import again. Re-importing creates a new copy of the source project.
  8. After the import finishes, select the link to go to the project dashboard. Follow the directions to push your existing repository.
