What is a Project?

Warp organizes migrations into Projects. In Warp, a Project is an object for managing a migration engagement — that is, an event where you will be migrating repositories to GitHub. Projects allow you to view and manage a set of migrations as a distinct operation with its own team, timeline, and budget.

Projects are one of Warp’s ways to make migrations more manageable:

• If you have a small collection of repositories to migrate, you might choose to perform their migrations in a single engagement and use a single project.

• If you are performing migrations for multiple clients, you might choose to use one project for each client.

• If you’re working with an organization with a large number of repositories to migrate — numbering in the thousands, tens of thousands, or even more — you’ll probably want to divide that task into multiple projects carried out over a period of time.

The Projects Page

When you sign into Warp, you are taken to the Projects page, which contains the following:

• Projects: The list of active migration engagements, a.k.a. Projects.

• Pending Installations: If you have any projects that have not yet been fully set up and configured, they will appear in this list.

• Create a New Project button: Starts the process of creating a new project.

The Projects List

For every active Project, the list contains an item that looks like this:

Each item has the following elements:
