setup python environment

python3 -m venv Unfuddle2GitlabEnv Unfuddle2GitlabEnv

pip install maya xmltodict wheel
pip install git+https://github.com/kernelport/python-gitlab.git@kernelport-patch-2

export unfuddle project

As admin in unfuddle it is possible to export the whole project.
This results in a bit tar file.

import the unfuddle project int gitlab

At first we need a impersonation token API tokten from the gitlab admin account.
This Token we have to enter in the gitlabtoken.py file.

After that we have to extract the unfuddle tar file into the working directory.
tar -xzvf ../datagraph.datagraph.20190807111353.tar.gz

This extract contains a backup.xml file and the media folder which holds all relevant project informations.
Addtionally it contains the git repositorys from this project as .dmp file.

After that we can run the unfuddle2gitlab.py.py file.
This sould create all Users, Notebooks and Tickets (with history) incl. Attachments in our gitlab.
