I started looking this over yesterday but didn't finish. This morning, I realized that the "research" I'd promised which looked at how the GitHub and GitLab APIs represented Kanban is STILL on the computer at home.

The essence is:

Board <-- 1:n --> Columns <-- 1:n --> Bug (issue)

There shouldn't be a lot of operations changing columns on a board once they've been set up, but there will be a ton of adding and moving bugs around the columns, so caching should really help there. I had also looked at Github Projects and that's a whole different data structure (I'm assuming out-of-scope WRT Kanban).

In any case, Board looks like I'd expect. My only suggestion is that Board might want an open/closed status like bug.

Isn't that just a board with some form of transition rules?

You mean that the board itself should support being "closed" ?

Projects can be cross-repository, so I think it's structurally similar to a board but how would the importer handle this? I also got the impression that it was possible to add cards to columns that weren't issues but it's been a few months and I'd have to look again. I'd be happy to be proven wrong too!

And yes, at least on GitHub you can mark boards as closed. I can take a look at the JSON I saved when I get back to my other computer on Monday. Better yet, I can attach the JSON to this repository for reference.

Import multiple remote repo within the same local git repo?

Any status on this one?

Is there any chance this will be done?
