# Dry run the migration of an GitLab pipeline to GitHub Actions
|
||||
In this lab, you will use the Valet `dry-run` command to convert a GitLab pipeline to it's equivalent GitHub Actions workflow.
|
||||
The end result of this command will the actions workflow writen to your local filesystem.

## Prerequisites
|
||||
|
||||
1. Followed [steps](../gitlab#readme) to set up your codespace environment.
|
||||
2. Completed the configure [lab](../gitlab/valet-configure-lab.md)
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
## Perform a dry run
|
||||
We will be performing a dry-run against a preconfigured project in the GitLab instance. Before running the command we need to collect some information:
|
||||
1. What is the project we want to convert? <span style="color:green">basic-pipeline-example</span>
|
||||
2. What is the namespace for that project? <span style="color:green">Valet. In this case the namespace is the same as the group the project is in.</span>
|
||||
3. Where do we want to store the result? <span style="color:green">./tmp/dry-run-lab. This can be any valid path on the system. In the case of codespaces it is generally best to use `./tmp/SOME_DIRECTORY_HERE` so they files show in explorer</span>
|
||||
|
||||
#### Steps
|
||||
1. Navigate to the codespace terminal
|
||||
2. Run the dry-run command
|
||||
```
|
||||
gh valet dry-run gitlab --output-dir ./tmp/dry-run-lab --namespace valet --project basic-pipeline-example`
|
||||
```
|
||||
3. Valet should have printed the output files in the terminal.
|
||||
4. Navigate to `./tmp/dry-run-lab` in the Explorer pane in codespaces and open `basic-pipeline-example.yml`. This is the converted GitHub Actions YAML file.
|
||||
### Example
|
||||
ADD_IMAGE
|
||||
|
||||
## View dry-run output
|
||||
The dry-run output will show you the GitHub Actions yaml that will be migrated to GitHub.
|
||||
|
||||
### Example
|
||||
ADD_IMAGE
|
||||
|
||||
### Next Lab
