title: Move a repository from Github to Gitlab
body: <p>Is there a way to move an entire repository from Github to GitLab?</p>
  
  <p>For the code itself, this would be a simple matter of creating a new repo on GitLab and pushing to it.</p>
  
  <p>Wiki pages live in a separate branch on Github and are managed with Git mechanisms; AFAIK the same goes for GitLab. Same story for pages.</p>
  
  <p>That leaves issues and merge requests as the main open points. Is there a way to copy those from Github to GitLab, at least in the state they were in at the time of the migration?</p>
  
  <p>Github offers an export ferature, and GitLab has an import feature which can import a Github repository—do any of these help with the above?</p>
