Export a repository from a Gitlab server to another Gitlab server

gitlab

Solution

For GitLab versions >= 8.9 (released in June 2016) you can use the built-in export and import project feature.

Please not that for the existing installations of GitLab, this option has to be enabled in the application settings (URL: `/admin/application_settings)` under 'Import sources'. You have to be a GitLab admin user to enable and use the import functionality.

Here is the feature complete documentation: https://gitlab.com/help/user/project/settings/import_export.md

Problem

Just installed a fresh new 6.8 Gitlab on a brand new high performance server. Before considering to forget my repositories history (comments, issues, etc...), do one know of a way to export a repository data from a Gitlab server to another Gitlab Server ? I just failed to found anything on the documentation for exporting/migrating the whole project data (not just the git repository and its wiki).
