Transitioning to GitHub

This guide will help you transition from GitLab to GitHub.

SSH Key​

Your GitLab authentication key can be used to authenticate to GitHub as well. All you need to do is add your SSH public key to GitHub.

Commands to Run​

There's some commands you can run on the terminal to not have to clone an entire new repository. **This assumes you want to use SSH key authentication. If you want to use HTTPS authentication, replace it with the appropriate URL.

GitLab RepositoryCommand
websitegit remote set-url origin git@github.com:ojosproject/website.git
scriptsgit remote set-url origin git@github.com:ojosproject/scripts.git

These are the main repositories we use at the Ojos Project for now.
