Enterprise Cloud Importer (ECI) and the GraphQL endpoints for importing migration data to GitHub Enterprise Cloud (GHEC) from an archive will be closing down today, March 31, 2025. These tools can no longer be used to import repository data into GitHub’s cloud-based products.
Moving forward, we recommend using GitHub Enterprise Importer (GEI) to migrate repositories to GitHub’s cloud-based products. If you are interested in migrating GitLab repositories to GitHub using GEI, please contact our Expert Services team.

The cvss field for GitHub security advisories in the REST and GraphQL APIs will be deprecated in favor of the new cvss_severities field. cvss will be removed from the REST API on April 1, 2025, and removed from the GraphQL API on October 1, 2025.

Starting on April 28th, 2025, GitHub will implement a new limit of 100,000 repositories on the total number of repositories per owner for both user accounts and organizations.
We’re committed to keeping our platform safe and secure while delivering the experiences you expect. By capping repository ownership, we’re preventing slowdowns on administrators as well as ensuring the health of our infrastructure to provide a smooth and secure environment for all users. You can find more about the degraded performance large accounts can face exceeding 100,000 repositories in our documentation about repository limits.
When an account surpasses 50,000 repositories, a banner noting the approaching limit will appear. Additionally, administrators will receive email notifications, and the audit log will update every additional 5,000 repositories created.
For accounts at or nearing the 100,000-repository limit, GitHub will provide information on temporary exemptions and offer guidance on reducing repository counts. If you require more than 100,000 repositories, you can distribute ownership across multiple organizations, maintaining seamless operations.
The stale repos action that was launched in 2023 is designed to help organizations identify and report on repositories with no activity.
