🔥Writing Dozens of Tools to Migrate an Enterprise from BitBucket to GitHub

This blog series focuses on presenting complex DevOps projects as simple and approachable via plain language and lots of pictures. You can do it!

Hey all!

These blog normally zooms in on particular technologies or use cases, but today we’re going to zoom out. Way, way out. I was recently (well, 6 months ago), to migrate an enterprise from an internal Stash/BitBucket server to a GitHub Organization. Full stop, good luck!

That project is nearly complete. As part of gathering information, preparing the new GitHub tenant, and executing the migration, I’ve had the opportunity to write dozens of bespoke tools. These tools are intended to gather information, build reference files that downstream tools will use, or to directly update settings or copy code and other repos. They create PRs in GitHub, they update Jenkins pipelines, they read and set settings in Jenkins, GitHub, and BitBucket.

As a collection, they are what enables this very large project to move forward. Let’s talk about some of the tools I remember writing (there are surely more I don’t!) and what they do! 🚀
