Overview

This node operation allows importing projects from a Bitbucket Server into GitLab using the GitLab API. It is useful for automating the migration of repositories from Bitbucket Server to GitLab, facilitating seamless project transfers without manual intervention. For example, a DevOps engineer can use this node to programmatically import multiple Bitbucket Server projects into GitLab as part of a migration workflow.

Use Case Examples

  1. Automate migration of Bitbucket Server repositories to GitLab.
  2. Integrate Bitbucket Server project import into CI/CD pipelines.
