OLD_TOKEN: XXXX
NEW_GITLAB_URL: http://newgitlab.com

NEW_GROUP_NAME: MyNewImportedGroup

• OLD_GITLAB_URL: Gitlab url from you want to export the group
• OLD_TOKEN: Gitlab token with API access from old gitlab instance
• NEW_GITLAB_URL: Gitlab url where you want to import that new group
• NEW_TOKEN: Gitlab token with API access from new gitlab instance

mkdir /tmp/gitlab 
python3 main.py -p /tmp/gitlab/ -l INFO

Note: Directory must be created and need to be empty. When you set the directory on the command, need to end with slash '/'

Then, delete the directory if you no longer need it.

rmdir /tmp/gitlab

• This code written in python possibly has many unanticipated improvements. It is not a program designed at a productive level contemplating all the possible errors that may exist.

• It is only a functional program designed to automate.

• As for the python code itself, possible improvements are welcome. I am not a 100% experienced python programmer, but I am having fun. Enjoy :)
