How to Batch Migrate Coding, GitHub, GitLab, and Gitee Repositories to CNB with Docker

Migration Alternatives Comparison

Comparison of four code‑hosting platforms—GitHub, GitLab, Gitee, and Coding—across dimensions such as access speed, compliance, open‑source ecosystem, feature completeness, data privacy, pricing model, and team collaboration. GitHub offers a global community but may be slower in China; GitLab can be self‑hosted; Gitee provides fast domestic access and complies with Chinese regulations; Coding (CNB) combines strong CI/CD features with a Chinese‑hosted ecosystem.

CNB Overview

CNB is a Docker‑based productivity platform developed by Tencent. It ensures environment consistency, branch‑per‑environment, rapid cloning, and build acceleration, and supports Git‑based code hosting, continuous integration, remote development, and open‑source collaboration.

CNB Repository Batch Migration Tool

The tool migrates repositories from Coding, GitHub, GitLab, Gitee, Alibaba Cloud DevOps, Tencent Gongfeng, and generic third‑party platforms to CNB. Repository URL: https://cnb.cool/cnb/plugins/cnbcool/code-import

Docker Migration Command

docker run --rm \
  -e PLUGIN_SOURCE_TOKEN="xxxxxxxxx" \
  -e PLUGIN_CNB_ROOT_ORGANIZATION="tinywan" \
  -e PLUGIN_CNB_TOKEN="xxxxxxxxxx" \
  cnbcool/code-import

Parameter Introduction

PLUGIN_SOURCE_TOKEN

: API token for the source code‑hosting platform. PLUGIN_CNB_ROOT_ORGANIZATION: Name of the root organization in CNB (must be created beforehand, e.g., tinywan). PLUGIN_CNB_TOKEN: CNB personal access token, created at https://cnb.cool/profile/token.

Creating a Coding Platform Token

Generate a read‑write token at https://wiot.coding.net/user/account/setting/tokens.

Creating a CNB Authorization Token

Obtain the CNB access token at https://cnb.cool/profile/token.

Start Migration

docker run --rm \
  -e PLUGIN_SOURCE_TOKEN="29d515db023cbd08cxxxxxxxxxx" \
  -e PLUGIN_CNB_ROOT_ORGANIZATION="tinywan" \
  -e PLUGIN_CNB_TOKEN="49T4f13f1xxxxxxxxxxxxx" \
  cnbcool/code-import

After migration, the CNB instance is accessible at https://cnb.cool/tinywan.
