Github bills per repository. AWS CodeCommit, on the other hand, charges per-user (mostly).

You can save money on your Github subscription by moving unused projects to CodeCommit.

The migrate script will move all unmerged branches in a repository to AWS CodeCommit from Github. It will also create a JSON file for the issues and pull requests open on Github and check those files into the master branch of the project in CodeCommit.

Yes.

It saves you money.

Install the AWS Command Line Tools and configure a user profile. You should already be familiar with hosting code with CodeCommit, and have your SSH key attached to your IAM user account and have your .ssh/config settings in place.

The script assumes you are using Two Factor Authentication. You'll need the current code (one time password), see GH_OTP below. Otherwise, you can create your own OAuth token and pass it in as GH_TOKEN.

export GH_USERNAME=todd
export GH_PASSWORD=secret
export GH_OTP=123456

./mirror xtoddx/github-codecommit-archive

The script doesn't delete the repository from Github. Take a moment and say your goodbyes.

Also delete the OAuth Token (named CC-Migrate) that was created.

MIT. Contributions welcome.
