I have an existing project that uses project boards on GitHub. I want to move all issues (open and closed) to projects (beta) on GitHub. Is there a way to do that automatically? Right now, I only know how to add issues manually to projects (beta).
As far as I know, there is currently no official guide on how to migrate to GitHub Projects (beta). You might want to follow this discussion on the topic: https://github.com/github/feedback/discussions/6141
However, I created a tutorial on how to migrate from the legacy project boards to the new projects (beta) myself: https://github.com/galargh/projects-migration#how-to-migrate-from-github-projects-to-github-projects-beta
It describes how to migrate cards (including column names) by either running a GitHub Actions workflow or a bash script.
Unfortunately, it does require some manual steps because projects (beta) API is not complete yet - the project itself and the Status field options have to be created manually to be precise.
After the migration, I'm also heavily using this action I created https://github.com/protocol/github-api-action-library/tree/master/add-project-items-by-content-query. I use it to periodically populate my projects based on content search queries (e.g. I automated adding all the issues that mention me - https://github.com/galargh/.github/blob/684c316/.github/workflows/add-project-items.yml).
I implemented python script that helps you migrate your project (similar to #galargh's solution) which uses the GraphQL api for the old projects too (might be more future proof) and also allows you to map column names and migrate PRs.

You can now do this by enabling the Project migration feature in feature preview
Once you enable it you should see a Start migration button when you go to your Classic (not beta) Project Board
Here are the official docs on how to do it

We use GitHub Project to manage as it is simple and easy to integrate with git comments. I couldn't find a way to analyze the performance of the jobs? How can we get reports related to the monitoring and evaluation of the project?
The Project management inside GitHub is not catering to the evaluation of the project. You can use third-party project management applications that can be integrated with GitHub seamlessly. One example is http://hubstaff.com
Our team made several changes to the available settings on the Boards of Visual Studio Team Services. I would like to know if there's a way to save these settings as templates in order to apply it to new projects and teams.
No this is currently not possible. The ALM Rangers are working on a project which will allow you to copy/paste board configs from one team to another. JSON import/export is planned for the future. For now we'd like to get simple apply from master working.
We may open up for beta tests soon.

I'm in process of migrating my open source project from VS Team Services to GitHub (in hope of having actual contributors at least).
Migrating git repository was easy, but now I have a problem of migrating issues.
I don't know how to migrate issues.
I really like Team Services board. Can I get something like this in Github?
For Question 1, there isn't any tool or simple way to migrate the VSTS issues to GitHub as I know since the issues in VSTS are work items that use a totally different template with GitHub. If you have large amount of issues need to be migrated, you may create an application and use VSTS Rest API and GitHub API to do this.
For Question 2, GitHub does not provide Kankan board feature by default but you can get it from some other service. For example: waffle.io
I'd like to migrate GitLab to GitHub. Of course, Git repo is easy to migrate. But other working items, such as Issue. Can I migrate all working items to GitHub Enterprise? If API is needed, please let me know the GitHub and GitLab APIs for the migration. If there is a tool, it is the best and helpful.
Best Regards,
I believe that is there a more efficient approach to solve this, but today we are trying Enterprise Edition and migrations projects individualy.
To export a full project, with Issues, MR history, ..., there is a section called Export Project.
Under project Settings > General > Export Project section with the following instructions:
Export this project with all its related data in order to move your
project to a new GitLab instance. Once the export is finished, you can
import the file from the "New Project" page.
Once the exported file is ready, you will receive a notification email
with a download link.
The following items will be exported:
Project and wiki repositories
Project uploads
Project configuration including web hooks and services
Issues with comments, merge requests with diffs and comments, labels, milestones, snippets, and other project entities
The following items will NOT be exported:
Job traces and artifacts
LFS objects
Container registry images
CI variables
Any encrypted tokens
Now, I wanna learn if there is a global export for all projects.
