Quick Start

Start with the compiled binary for your platform, configure provider tokens once, and run a migration with explicit source and target URLs.

1. Download the right artifact​

Use the release page for your platform-specific zip:

  • gfrm-macos-intel.zip
  • gfrm-macos-silicon.zip
  • gfrm-linux.zip
  • gfrm-windows.zip
  • checksums-sha256.txt

The release page is the source of truth: GitHub Releases.

2. Verify and run --help​

Follow Install and Verify to extract the artifact and confirm the binary runs.

3. Bootstrap token settings​

./gfrm setup

This writes provider token settings to your global config by default.

4. Run a first migration​

./gfrm migrate \
  --source-provider gitlab \
  --source-url "https://gitlab.com/group/project" \
  --target-provider github \
  --target-url "https://github.com/org/repo"

5. Resume if interrupted​

./gfrm resume

gfrm resumes from saved session state and skips work that already completed.
