The Smartest Move for Your Development Team

Every successful migration starts with clarity. Before any code moves, we take a deep dive into your current setup: repositories, pipelines, team structures, and tooling. This phase is about uncovering what’s there, what’s possible, and what needs attention. It’s not just technical prep, it’s strategic design. As a recognized partner of both Microsoft and GitHub, we can also advise on available funding programs that may significantly reduce the cost of your migration. This includes exploring eligibility for ECIF or other support initiatives designed to accelerate cloud adoption.

Migration is more than a copy-paste job. It’s a complex orchestration of automation, validation, and adaptation. We handle the technical heavy lifting, from dry runs to rewiring pipelines, ensuring your migration is smooth, secure, and scalable. Every repo, every pipeline, every detail is accounted for.

Technology alone doesn’t drive transformation, people do. We equip your teams with the skills and confidence to thrive in the new GitHub environment. From admin training to developer enablement, we make sure your teams are not just ready, but excited to embrace the change.

Migration is the perfect moment to modernize. Instead of replicating legacy processes, we help you reimagine them. This module focuses on enhancing pipelines, introducing reusable components, and automating platform tasks, so your new setup isn’t just migrated, it’s elevated.

Security and compliance aren’t optional, they’re foundational. We embed governance into every step of the migration, ensuring your GitHub environment is secure, auditable, and aligned with your standards. From RBAC to audit trails, we build with trust in mind.

No two migrations are the same. That’s why we offer flexible engagement models, from advisory support to full-service execution and ongoing managed services. Whether you want to lead the charge or hand over the reins, we adapt to your needs and pace.

Xebia’s GitHub migration service covers the end-to-end journey: discovery and design (inventory of repos, pipelines, teams, and a migration suitability assessment), migration mechanics (dry runs, automated migration of repos, pull requests and metadata, and pipeline rewiring), enablement and uplift (admin and developer training, Copilot enablement, Agile/DevOps coaching), optimization (pipeline modernization, reusable Actions and templates, platform automation), and governance & compliance (RBAC, ruleset automation, audit readiness, identity integration). You can choose advisory, full-service execution, or ongoing managed services.

Xebia is an official GitHub Training Partner and recognized partner of Microsoft and GitHub, combining technical migration capabilities with certified training and long-term managed developer platform services. We emphasize dry runs and automation to minimize risk, integrate governance and identity from day one, offer pay-per-use licensing via a Managed Developer Platform, and provide ongoing optimization and support to drive adoption and ROI rather than just lift-and-shift.

Timeline depends on scale and complexity (number of repos, pipeline complexity, metadata and integrations). Xebia creates a phased strategic roadmap with timelines and risk mitigation. We perform dry runs and failure handling to catch issues before go-live and rewire CI/CD pipelines so production downtime is minimized. A small pilot or team-by-team approach is common to reduce risk and interruption.

Xebia migrates repositories, pull requests, and associated metadata where feasible, and handles pipeline rewiring and CI/CD integration. The discovery phase identifies which artifacts can be migrated, what needs cleanup, and what requires custom handling or reimplementation.

Pipeline migration includes inventorying existing CI/CD workflows, automating rewiring into GitHub Actions where possible, creating reusable workflows and templates, running dry runs to detect failures, and providing integration and validation support (runners, validation scripts) to ensure pipelines work correctly post-migration.

Security and compliance are embedded throughout: role-based access control (RBAC), branch protection rules, ruleset automation, audit and compliance readiness checks, and integration with identity providers (Okta, Entra) for provisioning and SSO. Xebia designs the GitHub environment to be auditable and aligned with internal/external standards from day one.

Yes. Xebia supports identity and access integration with common providers like Okta and Microsoft Entra, and configures SSO and user provisioning. We also assess and remediate integrations with existing tooling during discovery and rewiring so your GitHub environment works with your current toolchain.
