My Issue Tracking

I'm a lone developer so I cram everything I do into two boards. One is a main board and the other is a giant backlog with too many items in it.

Service	Time	Milestones	First Milestone	Last Milestone	Cards
GitLab	2018-2019	37 Weeks	Week 01: 10/01/2018 - 10/08/2018	Week 37: 06/09/2019 - 06/16/2019	659
Trello	2019-2020	41 Weeks	Week 38: 06/16/2019 - 06/23/2019	Week 79: 06/14/2020 - 06/21/2020	1776
Glo	2020-?	?	?	?	?

I'm still unsure if I want to make the switch over to Glo...but I have a migration strategy for when I'm ready.

Trello to Glo

Unfortunately, Trello does not seem to track milestones or issue creation date...

I made a one-off script (misc/approx_milestones.py) to attempt approximating the milestone an issue would have landed in based on the completion date and some old data I found in my GitLab board. Luckily I was completely consistent with my week long milestones so everything seems to line up correctly after executing.

exporter.py -> misc/approx_milestones.py -> importer.py

This sets up each Glo board 95% of the way there.

• Closed issues must be archived with the site's UI even though 'archive_date' is populated on each issue.
• Past milestones must be closed. Annoying, but whatever.

Archive - GitLab to Trello

For my first issue migration, I wrote a set of subpar Python scripts. I only made a set of scripts for migrating from GitLab to Trello.

gitlab-export.py -> trello-gitlab-import.py

I figured I'd include this for sake of completion. But, I will be rewriting it at some point to match my current import/export pattern.

To Do

• Add CLI to Exporter/Importer
• Export from GitKraken Glo
• Import exported issues to MSSQL table
• Rewrite GitLab exporter
• Basic report of all of my milestones
