About migrating from Azure DevOps with GitHub Actions Importer

The instructions below will guide you through configuring your environment to use GitHub Actions Importer to migrate Azure DevOps pipelines to GitHub Actions.

Prerequisites

  • An Azure DevOps account or organization with projects and pipelines that you want to convert to GitHub Actions workflows.
  • Access to create an Azure DevOps personal access token for your account or organization.
  • 一个可在其中运行基于 Linux 的容器并可安装所需工具的环境。

    注意

    GitHub Actions Importer 容器和 CLI 不需要安装在 CI 平台所在的同一服务器上。

Limitations

There are some limitations when migrating from Azure DevOps to GitHub Actions with GitHub Actions Importer:

  • GitHub Actions Importer requires version 5.0 of the Azure DevOps API, available in either Azure DevOps Services or Azure DevOps Server 2019. Older versions of Azure DevOps Server are not compatible.
  • Tasks that are implicitly added to an Azure DevOps pipeline, such as checking out source code, may be added to a GitHub Actions Importer audit as a GUID name. To find the friendly task name for a GUID, you can use the following URL: https://dev.azure.com/:organization/_apis/distributedtask/tasks/:guid.

Manual tasks

Certain Azure DevOps constructs must be migrated manually from Azure DevOps into GitHub Actions configurations. These include:

  • Organization, repository, and environment secrets
  • Service connections such as OIDC Connect, GitHub Apps, and personal access tokens
  • Unknown tasks
  • Self-hosted agents
  • Environments
  • Pre-deployment approvals

For more information on manual migrations, see Migrating from Azure Pipelines to GitHub Actions.

Unsupported tasks

GitHub Actions Importer does not support migrating the following tasks:

  • Pre-deployment gates
  • Post-deployment gates
  • Post-deployment approvals
  • Some resource triggers

Installing the GitHub Actions Importer CLI extension

  1. 安装 GitHub Actions Importer CLI 扩展：

    Bash
    gh extension install github/gh-actions-importer

  2. 验证是否已安装扩展：

    $ gh actions-importer -h

Configuring credentials

The configure CLI command is used to set required credentials and options for GitHub Actions Importer when working with Azure DevOps and GitHub.

  1. Create a GitHub personal access token (classic). For more information, see 管理个人访问令牌.

    Your token must have the workflow scope.

    After creating the token, copy it and save it in a safe location for later use.

  2. Create an Azure DevOps personal access token. For more information, see Use personal access tokens in the Azure DevOps documentation. The token must have the following scopes:

    • Agents Pool: Read
    • Build: Read
    • Code: Read
    • Release: Read
    • Service Connections: Read
    • Task Groups: Read
    • Variable Groups: Read

    After creating the token, copy it and save it in a safe location for later use.

  3. In your terminal, run the GitHub Actions Importer configure CLI command:

    gh actions-importer configure

    The configure command will prompt you for the following information:

    • For "Which CI providers are you configuring?", use the arrow keys to select Azure DevOps, press Space to select it, then press Enter.
    • For "Personal access token for GitHub", enter the value of the personal access token (classic) that you created earlier, and press Enter.
    • For "Base url of the GitHub instance", press Enter to accept the default value (https://github.com).
    • For "Personal access token for Azure DevOps", enter the value for the Azure DevOps personal access token that you created earlier, and press Enter.
    • For "Base url of the Azure DevOps instance", press Enter to accept the default value (https://dev.azure.com).
    • For "Azure DevOps organization name", enter the name for your Azure DevOps organization, and press Enter.
    • For "Azure DevOps project name", enter the name for your Azure DevOps project, and press Enter.

    An example of the configure command is shown below:

    $ gh actions-importer configure
✔ Which CI providers are you configuring?: Azure DevOps
Enter the following values (leave empty to omit):
✔ Personal access token for GitHub: ***************
✔ Base url of the GitHub instance: https://github.com
✔ Personal access token for Azure DevOps: ***************
✔ Base url of the Azure DevOps instance: https://dev.azure.com
✔ Azure DevOps organization name: :organization
✔ Azure DevOps project name: :project
Environment variables successfully updated.

  4. In your terminal, run the GitHub Actions Importer update CLI command to connect to the GitHub Packages Container registry and ensure that the container image is updated to the latest version:

    gh actions-importer update

    The output of the command should be similar to below:

    Updating ghcr.io/actions-importer/cli:latest...
ghcr.io/actions-importer/cli:latest up-to-date

Perform an audit of Azure DevOps

You can use the audit command to get a high-level view of all projects in an Azure DevOps organization.

The audit command performs the following steps:

  1. Fetches all of the projects defined in an Azure DevOps organization.
  2. Converts each pipeline to its equivalent GitHub Actions workflow.
  3. Generates a report that summarizes how complete and complex of a migration is possible with GitHub Actions Importer.

Running the audit command

To perform an audit of an Azure DevOps organization, run the following command in your terminal:

gh actions-importer audit azure-devops --output-dir tmp/audit

Inspecting the audit results

指定的输出目录中的文件包含审核结果。 有关审核结果的摘要，请参阅 audit_summary.md 文件。

审核摘要包含以下部分。

管道

“管道”部分包含有关由 GitHub Actions Importer 完成的转换率的概要统计信息。

下面列出了“管道”部分中可能出现的一些关键术语：

  • “成功”管道已将所有管道构造和单个项目自动转换为其 GitHub Actions 等效项。
  • “部分成功”管道已转换所有管道构造，但有一些单个项目未自动转换为其 GitHub Actions 等效项。
  • “不受支持”管道是 GitHub Actions Importer 不支持的定义类型。
  • “失败”管道在转换时遇到错误。 这可能是以下三个原因之一造成的：
    • 该管道最初配置错误且无效。
    • GitHub Actions Importer 在转换它时遇到内部错误。
    • 网络响应失败，导致管道无法访问，这通常是由于凭据无效所致。

生成步骤

“生成步骤”部分概述了跨所有管道使用的各个生成步骤，以及由 GitHub Actions Importer 自动转换的生成步骤数。

下面列出了“生成步骤”部分中可能出现的一些关键术语：

  • “已知”生成步骤是自动转换为等效操作的步骤。
  • “未知”生成步骤是未自动转换为等效操作的步骤。
  • “不受支持”生成步骤是满足以下任一条件的步骤：
    • 从根本上不受 GitHub Actions 支持。
    • 以与 GitHub Actions 不兼容的方式进行配置。
  • “操作”是转换后的工作流中使用的操作的列表。 这对于以下情况可能很重要：
    • 如果使用 GitHub Enterprise Server，收集要同步到实例的操作列表。
    • 定义所使用的操作的组织级允许列表。 此操作列表是安全或合规性团队可能需要审查的操作的综合列表。

手动任务

“手动任务”部分概述了 GitHub Actions Importer 无法自动完成且必须由你手动完成的任务。

下面列出了“手动任务”部分中可能出现的一些关键术语：

  • “机密”是在转换后的管道中使用的存储库或组织级机密。 必须在 GitHub Actions 中手动创建这些机密，才能使这些管道正常运行。 有关详细信息，请参阅“Using secrets in GitHub Actions”。
  • “自托管运行器”是指在转换后的管道中引用的运行器（不是 GitHub 托管的运行器）的标签。 需要手动定义这些运行器，才能使这些管道正常运行。

文件

审核报告的最后一部分提供审核期间写入磁盘的所有文件的清单。

每个管道文件都包含审核中的各种文件，包括：

  • GitHub 中定义的原始管道。
  • 用于转换管道的任何网络响应。
  • 转换后的工作流文件。
  • 可用于排查管道转换失败问题的堆栈跟踪。

此外，workflow_usage.csv 文件包含一个以逗号分隔的列表，其中列出了每个成功转换的管道所使用的所有操作、机密和运行器。 这有助于确定哪些工作流使用哪些操作、机密或运行器，并且可用于进行安全评审。

Forecast potential GitHub Actions usage

You can use the forecast command to forecast potential GitHub Actions usage by computing metrics from completed pipeline runs in Azure DevOps.

Running the forecast command

To perform a forecast of potential GitHub Actions usage, run the following command in your terminal. By default, GitHub Actions Importer includes the previous seven days in the forecast report.

gh actions-importer forecast azure-devops --output-dir tmp/forecast_reports

Inspecting the forecast report

The forecast_report.md file in the specified output directory contains the results of the forecast.

Listed below are some key terms that can appear in the forecast report:

  • The job count is the total number of completed jobs.

  • The pipeline count is the number of unique pipelines used.

  • Execution time describes the amount of time a runner spent on a job. This metric can be used to help plan for the cost of GitHub-hosted runners.

    This metric is correlated to how much you should expect to spend in GitHub Actions. This will vary depending on the hardware used for these minutes. You can use the GitHub Actions pricing calculator to estimate the costs.

  • Queue time metrics describe the amount of time a job spent waiting for a runner to be available to execute it.

  • Concurrent jobs metrics describe the amount of jobs running at any given time. This metric can be used to define the number of runners you should configure.

Additionally, these metrics are defined for each queue of runners in Azure DevOps. This is especially useful if there is a mix of hosted or self-hosted runners, or high or low spec machines, so you can see metrics specific to different types of runners.

Perform a dry-run migration

You can use the dry-run command to convert an Azure DevOps pipeline to an equivalent GitHub Actions workflow. A dry run creates the output files in a specified directory, but does not open a pull request to migrate the pipeline.

如果有任何 GitHub Actions Importer 无法自动转换的内容，例如未知生成步骤或部分成功管道，你可能需要创建自定义转换器来进一步自定义转换过程。 有关详细信息，请参阅“Extending GitHub Actions Importer with custom transformers”。

Running the dry-run command for a build pipeline

To perform a dry run of migrating your Azure DevOps build pipeline to GitHub Actions, run the following command in your terminal, replacing pipeline_id with the ID of the pipeline you are converting.

gh actions-importer dry-run azure-devops pipeline --pipeline-id :pipeline_id --output-dir tmp/dry-run

You can view the logs of the dry run and the converted workflow files in the specified output directory.

Running the dry-run command for a release pipeline

To perform a dry run of migrating your Azure DevOps release pipeline to GitHub Actions, run the following command in your terminal, replacing pipeline_id with the ID of the pipeline you are converting.

gh actions-importer dry-run azure-devops release --pipeline-id :pipeline_id --output-dir tmp/dry-run

You can view the logs of the dry run and the converted workflow files in the specified output directory.

Perform a production migration

You can use the migrate command to convert an Azure DevOps pipeline and open a pull request with the equivalent GitHub Actions workflow.

Running the migrate command for a build pipeline

To migrate an Azure DevOps build pipeline to GitHub Actions, run the following command in your terminal, replacing the target-url value with the URL for your GitHub repository, and pipeline_id with the ID of the pipeline you are converting.

gh actions-importer migrate azure-devops pipeline --pipeline-id :pipeline_id --target-url https://github.com/octo-org/octo-repo --output-dir tmp/migrate

The command's output includes the URL of the pull request that adds the converted workflow to your repository. An example of a successful output is similar to the following:

$ gh actions-importer migrate azure-devops pipeline --target-url https://github.com/octo-org/octo-repo --output-dir tmp/migrate --azure-devops-project my-azure-devops-project
[2022-08-20 22:08:20] Logs: 'tmp/migrate/log/actions-importer-20220916-014033.log'
[2022-08-20 22:08:20] Pull request: 'https://github.com/octo-org/octo-repo/pull/1'

Running the migrate command for a release pipeline

To migrate an Azure DevOps release pipeline to GitHub Actions, run the following command in your terminal, replacing the target-url value with the URL for your GitHub repository, and pipeline_id with the ID of the pipeline you are converting.

gh actions-importer migrate azure-devops release --pipeline-id :pipeline_id --target-url https://github.com/octo-org/octo-repo --output-dir tmp/migrate

The command's output includes the URL of the pull request that adds the converted workflow to your repository. An example of a successful output is similar to the following:

$ gh actions-importer migrate azure-devops release --target-url https://github.com/octo-org/octo-repo --output-dir tmp/migrate --azure-devops-project my-azure-devops-project
[2022-08-20 22:08:20] Logs: 'tmp/migrate/log/actions-importer-20220916-014033.log'
[2022-08-20 22:08:20] Pull request: 'https://github.com/octo-org/octo-repo/pull/1'

检查拉取请求

migrate 命令成功运行的输出包含一个指向新拉取请求的链接，此拉取请求将转换后的工作流添加到存储库。

拉取请求的一些重要元素包括：

  • 在拉取请求说明中，有一个名为“手动步骤”的部分，其中列出了在完成将管道迁移到 GitHub Actions 之前必须手动完成的步骤。 例如，此部分可能会提供创建工作流中使用的任何机密。
  • 转换后的工作流文件。 选择拉取请求中的“Files changed”选项卡，查看将添加到 GitHub 仓库的工作流文件****。

检查完拉取请求后，可以将其合并以将工作流添加到 GitHub 仓库。

Reference

This section contains reference information on environment variables, optional arguments, and supported syntax when using GitHub Actions Importer to migrate from Azure DevOps.

Configuration environment variables

GitHub Actions Importer 使用环境变量进行身份验证配置。 这些变量在使用 configure 命令执行配置过程时设置。 有关详细信息，请参阅“配置凭据”部分。

GitHub Actions Importer uses the following environment variables to connect to your Azure DevOps instance:

  • GITHUB_ACCESS_TOKEN: The personal access token (classic) used to create pull requests with a converted workflow (requires the workflow scope).
  • GITHUB_INSTANCE_URL: The URL to the target GitHub instance (for example, https://github.com).
  • AZURE_DEVOPS_ACCESS_TOKEN: The personal access token used to authenticate with your Azure DevOps instance. This token requires the following scopes:
    • Build: Read
    • Agent Pools: Read
    • Code: Read
    • Release: Read
    • Service Connections: Read
    • Task Groups: Read
    • Variable Groups: Read
  • AZURE_DEVOPS_PROJECT: The project name or GUID to use when migrating a pipeline. If you'd like to perform an audit on all projects, this is optional.
  • AZURE_DEVOPS_ORGANIZATION: The organization name of your Azure DevOps instance.
  • AZURE_DEVOPS_INSTANCE_URL: The URL to the Azure DevOps instance, such as https://dev.azure.com.

These environment variables can be specified in a .env.local file that is loaded by GitHub Actions Importer when it is run.

Optional arguments

有一些可选参数可以结合 GitHub Actions Importer 子命令使用来自定义迁移。

--source-file-path

You can use the --source-file-path argument with the forecast, dry-run, or migrate subcommands.

By default, GitHub Actions Importer fetches pipeline contents from source control. The --source-file-path argument tells GitHub Actions Importer to use the specified source file path instead.

For example:

gh actions-importer dry-run azure-devops pipeline --output-dir ./output/ --source-file-path ./path/to/azure_devops/pipeline.yml

--config-file-path

You can use the --config-file-path argument with the audit, dry-run, and migrate subcommands.

By default, GitHub Actions Importer fetches pipeline contents from source control. The --config-file-path argument tells GitHub Actions Importer to use the specified source files instead.

The --config-file-path argument can also be used to specify which repository a converted reusable workflow or composite action should be migrated to.

Audit example

In this example, GitHub Actions Importer uses the specified YAML configuration file as the source file to perform an audit.

gh actions-importer audit azure-devops pipeline --output-dir ./output/ --config-file-path ./path/to/azure_devops/config.yml

To audit an Azure DevOps instance using a configuration file, the configuration file must be in the following format and each repository_slug must be unique:

source_files:
  - repository_slug: azdo-project/1
    path: file.yml
  - repository_slug: azdo-project/2
    paths: path.yml

You can generate the repository_slug for a pipeline by combining the Azure DevOps organization name, project name, and the pipeline ID. For example, my-organization-name/my-project-name/42.

Dry run example

In this example, GitHub Actions Importer uses the specified YAML configuration file as the source file to perform a dry run.

The pipeline is selected by matching the repository_slug in the configuration file to the value of the --azure-devops-organization and --azure-devops-project option. The path is then used to pull the specified source file.

gh actions-importer dry-run azure-devops pipeline --output-dir ./output/ --config-file-path ./path/to/azure_devops/config.yml
Specify the repository of converted reusable workflows and composite actions

GitHub Actions Importer uses the YAML file provided to the --config-file-path argument to determine the repository that converted reusable workflows and composite actions are migrated to.

To begin, you should run an audit without the --config-file-path argument:

gh actions-importer audit azure-devops --output-dir ./output/

The output of this command will contain a file named config.yml that contains a list of all the reusable workflows and composite actions that were converted by GitHub Actions Importer. For example, the config.yml file may have the following contents:

reusable_workflows:
  - name: my-reusable-workflow.yml
    target_url: https://github.com/octo-org/octo-repo
    ref: main

composite_actions:
  - name: my-composite-action.yml
    target_url: https://github.com/octo-org/octo-repo
    ref: main

You can use this file to specify which repository and ref a reusable workflow or composite action should be added to. You can then use the --config-file-path argument to provide the config.yml file to GitHub Actions Importer. For example, you can use this file when running a migrate command to open a pull request for each unique repository defined in the config file:

gh actions-importer migrate azure-devops pipeline --config-file-path config.yml --target-url https://github.com/my-org/my-repo

Templates

You can transform Azure DevOps templates with GitHub Actions Importer.

Limitations

GitHub Actions Importer is able to transform Azure DevOps templates with some limitations.

  • Azure DevOps templates used under the stages, deployments, and jobs keys are converted into reusable workflows in GitHub Actions. For more information, see Reusing workflows.
  • Azure DevOps templates used under the steps key are converted into composite actions. For more information, see Creating a composite action.
  • If you currently have job templates that reference other job templates, GitHub Actions Importer converts the templates into reusable workflows. Because reusable workflows cannot reference other reusable workflows, this is invalid syntax in GitHub Actions. You must manually correct nested reusable workflows.
  • If a template references an external Azure DevOps organization or GitHub repository, you must use the --credentials-file option to provide credentials to access this template. For more information, see 补充参数和设置.
  • You can dynamically generate YAML using each expressions with the following caveats:
    • Nested each blocks are not supported and cause the parent each block to be unsupported.
    • each and contained if conditions are evaluated at transformation time, because GitHub Actions does not support this style of insertion.
    • elseif blocks are unsupported. If this functionality is required, you must manually correct them.
    • Nested if blocks are supported, but if/elseif/else blocks nested under an if condition are not.
    • if blocks that use predefined Azure DevOps variables are not supported.
