# GitLab to GitHub Contribution History Transfer Script

This script transfers the commit history from a GitLab repository to Github. It performs the following tasks:

1. Clones the GitLab repository locally.

2. Removes files from the Git history with specified extensions such as Images and gifs to speed up the process.

3. Adds a remote pointing to the GitHub repository.

4. Pushes the filtered commit history to a new branch on the GitHub repository.

5. Merges the new branch into the existing GitHub repository.

## Usage

### Prerequisites

- Python installed.

- Both GitLab and GitHub repositories accessible with the appropriate permissions.

### Running the Script

1. Clone this repository to your local machine:

    ```bash

    git clone 

    ```

2. Navigate to the directory containing the script:

    ```bash

    cd 

    ```

3. Run the script `gl2gh.py` with the following command, provide the URLs of the GitLab and GitHub repositories as arguments:

    ```bash

    python gl2gh.py  

    ```

    Replace `` with the URL of the GitLab repository and `` with the URL of the GitHub repository.

### Note

- Ensure that you have the necessary permissions to clone, push, and merge branches in both the GitLab and GitHub repositories.

- Review the `SKIP_EXTENSIONS` list in the script to verify that it matches the file extensions you want to exclude from the transfer.
