Milestones Migration

What Gets Migrated

Milestones are automatically created on GitHub during migration:

  • Name: Preserved exactly from Bitbucket
  • State: Created as 'open' by default
  • Assignment: Applied to issues that had milestones in Bitbucket

What IS Preserved

  • ✅ Milestone Names: Created on GitHub with exact names.
  • ✅ Milestone Descriptions: Migrated from Bitbucket if present.
  • ✅ Due Dates: Migrated and set on GitHub milestones.
  • ✅ Issue Associations: Issues are assigned to correct milestones.
  • ✅ PR Associations: PRs (and PRs-as-issues) are assigned to correct milestones.
  • ✅ Milestone Mapping: Tracked in migration report.

What Is NOT Preserved

  • ❌ Completion Percentage: Calculated by GitHub based on closed issues.
  • ❌ Milestone State: All created as 'open' (GitHub updates based on issue completion).

Handling Non-Migratable Information

  • Duplicate Names: If milestone already exists on GitHub, existing one is used.
  • Creation Tracking: All created/mapped milestones listed in migration report.
  • Pre-Creation: All milestones are created upfront before issue/PR migration begins.
