# Migration Features
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Complete migrations were introduced in Gitea 1.9.0. It defines two interfaces to support migrating
 | 
						|
repository data from other Git host platforms to Gitea or, in the future, migrating Gitea data to other
 | 
						|
Git host platforms.  
 | 
						|
Currently, migrations from GitHub, GitLab, and other Gitea instances are implemented.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
First of all, Gitea defines some standard objects in packages [modules/migration](https://github.com/go-gitea/gitea/tree/main/modules/migration).  
 | 
						|
They are `Repository`, `Milestone`, `Release`, `ReleaseAsset`, `Label`, `Issue`, `Comment`, `PullRequest`, `Reaction`, `Review`, `ReviewComment`.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
## Downloader Interfaces
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
To migrate from a new Git host platform, there are two steps to be updated.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
- You should implement a `Downloader` which will be used to get repository information.
 | 
						|
- You should implement a `DownloaderFactory` which will be used to detect if the URL matches and create the above `Downloader`.
 | 
						|
   - You'll need to register the `DownloaderFactory` via `RegisterDownloaderFactory` on `init()`.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
You can find these interfaces in [downloader.go](https://github.com/go-gitea/gitea/blob/main/modules/migration/downloader.go).
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
## Uploader Interface
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Currently, only a `GiteaLocalUploader` is implemented, so we only save downloaded
 | 
						|
data via this `Uploader` to the local Gitea instance. Other uploaders are not supported at this time.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
You can find these interfaces in [uploader.go](https://github.com/go-gitea/gitea/blob/main/modules/migration/uploader.go).
