Migrate from github to Jira

Question

Hello Team,

My company is moving from GitHub to JIRA for project management and issues tracking. I am trying to find an efficient way to move all the existing issues from GitHub to JIRA and set up triggers when people make commits, pull requests, etc..

I researched online and heard about some chrome extension to export Issues as JSON and import it into JIRA but none of those extensions of tools worked.

Looking forward to hear back at the earliest.

Thanks and Regards,

Guru

Hello @Carlos Garcia Navarro

Thanks for the quick response, I did go through the link and was trying to export but I get the below error when I try to hit the API.

https://api.github.com/repos/dataseers/seerportal/issues

{
  "message": "Not Found",
  "documentation_url": "https://docs.github.com/rest/reference/issues#list-repository-issues"
}

can I know what I am doing wrong?

Thanks,

Guru
