GitLab to GitHub enterprise migration for a self-storage SaaS platform

See how Opcito migrated 150 repositories from GitLab to GitHub enterprise for a self-storage SaaS provider in five weeks with zero data loss.

Engagement details

Opcito partnered with a cloud-based SaaS provider for the self-storage industry to migrate their entire development infrastructure from GitLab to GitHub Enterprise. Facing gaps in security tooling, limited access control granularity, and the absence of AI-assisted development capabilities, the customer needed a structured migration that would modernize their developer infrastructure without disrupting ongoing operations. Opcito delivered a five-phase migration covering repository transfer, security enablement, Copilot deployment, and Okta SSO integration — completed in five weeks with full history preservation and zero data loss.
