+# Import your project from Gitea to GitLab
+
+Import your projects from Gitea to GitLab with minimal effort.
+
+## Overview
+
+>**Note:**
+As of Gitea `v1.0.0`, issue & pull-request comments cannot be imported! This is
+a [known issue][issue-401] that should be fixed in a near-future.
+
+- At its current state, Gitea importer can import:
+  - the repository description (GitLab 8.15+)
+  - the Git repository data (GitLab 8.15+)
+  - the issues (GitLab 8.15+)
+  - the pull requests (GitLab 8.15+)
+  - the milestones (GitLab 8.15+)
+  - the labels (GitLab 8.15+)
+- Repository public access is retained. If a repository is private in Gitea
+  it will be created as private in GitLab as well.
+
+## How it works
+
+Since Gitea is currently not an OAuth provider, author/assignee cannot be mapped
+to users in your GitLab's instance. This means that 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 Gitea 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.
+
+## Importing your Gitea repositories
+
+The importer page is visible when you create a new project.
+
+![New project page on GitLab](img/import_projects_from_gitea_new_project_page.png)
+
+Click on the **Gitea** link and the import authorization process will start.
+
+![New Gitea project import](img/import_projects_from_gitea_new_import.png)
+
+### Authorize access to your repositories using a personal access token
+
+With this method, you will perform a one-off authorization with Gitea to grant
+GitLab access your repositories:
+
+1. Go to <https://you-gitea-instance/user/settings/applications> (replace
+   `you-gitea-instance` with the host of your Gitea instance).
+1. Click **Generate New Token**.
+1. Enter a token description.
+1. Click **Generate Token**.
+1. Copy the token hash.
+1. Go back to GitLab and provide the token to the Gitea importer.
+1. Hit the **List Your Gitea Repositories** button and wait while GitLab reads
+   your repositories' information. Once done, you'll be taken to the importer
+   page to select the repositories to import.
+
+### Select which repositories to import
+
+After you've authorized access to your Gitea repositories, you will be
+redirected to the Gitea importer page.
+
+From there, you can see the import statuses of your Gitea repositories.
+
+- Those that are being imported will show a _started_ status,
+- those already successfully imported will be green with a _done_ status,
+- whereas those that are not yet imported will have an **Import** button on the
+  right side of the table.
+
+If you want, you can import all your Gitea projects in one go by hitting
+**Import all projects** in the upper left corner.
+

+
+You can also choose a different name for the project and a different namespace,
+if you have the privileges to do so.
