Exactly this. I generally begin my projects as private GitHub repos and then make them public once they have a MVP-quality demo of some sort.<p>I also make <i>heavy</i> use of GitHub&#x27;s issues&#x2F;milestones system, even on private repos, to keep myself organized. I&#x27;d probably use GitLab a lot more if I knew of an easy way to port issues and milestones over to GitHub when I decide to make a project public.<p>On a related note, can anyone recommend some good external issue tracking systems that integrates well with both GitLab and GitHub?
