Travis CI migrations powered by GitHub Actions Importer

The instructions below will guide you through configuring a GitHub Codespaces environment that your will use in subsequent labs to learn how to use GitHub Actions Importer to migrate Travis CI pipelines to GitHub Actions.

These steps must be completed prior to starting other labs.

Create your own repository for these labs

1. Ensure that you have created a repository using the actions/importer-labs as a template.

Configure your codespace

1. Start a new codespace.

   • Click the Code button on your repository's landing page.
   • Click the Codespaces tab.
   • Click Create codespaces on main to create the codespace.
   • After the Codespace has initialized there will be a terminal present.

2. Verify the GitHub Actions Importer CLI is installed and working. More information on the GitHub Actions Importer extension for the official GitHub CLI can be found here.

   • Run the following command in the codespace terminal:

     gh actions-importer version
     

   • Verify the output is similar to below.

     $ gh actions-importer version
     gh version 2.14.3 (2022-07-26)
     gh actions-importer        github/gh-actions-importer v0.1.12
     actions-importer/cli       unknown
     

   • If gh actions-importer version did not produce similar output, please refer to the troubleshooting section.

Labs for Travis CI

Perform the following labs to learn more about how to migrate Travis CI pipelines to GitHub Actions using GitHub Actions Importer:

1. Configure credentials for GitHub Actions Importer
2. Perform an audit of Travis CI
3. Forecast potential build runner usage
4. Perform a dry-run of a Travis CI pipeline
5. Use custom transformers to customize GitHub Actions Importer's behavior
6. Perform a production migration of a Travis CI pipeline

Troubleshoot the GitHub Actions Importer CLI

The CLI extension for GitHub Actions Importer can be manually installed by following these steps:

• Verify you are in the codespace terminal

• Run this command from within the codespace's terminal:

  gh extension install github/gh-actions-importer
  

• Verify the result of the install contains:

  $ gh extension install github/gh-actions-importer
  ✓ Installed extension github/gh-actions-importer
  

• Verify GitHub Actions Importer CLI extension is installed and working by running the following command from the codespace terminal:

  gh actions-importer version
