Copy a GitHub Project Board *and* the cards #21981
-
|
We’ve got a real need (as an educational institution) to create repositories for our students that, in addition to code and other materials, have a project board with a series of cards and tasks. Ideally we want to have the students be able to clone or fork these repositories and have a fully setup project board with tasks already there for them. I can see where we can copy a board (settings and automation) but not the cards. Is there a simple way to do an export/import or import from a JSON file or something similar? |

Hi @johncokos! 👋 There’s no way built into the web UI to copy across all the cards from a Project Board, sorry! We’re always working to improve GitHub, and we consider every suggestion we receive, so perhaps you’d like to submit a feature request through our official product feedback form so that our product team can see exactly how you’d like GitHub to work? Our API allows for the fetching and creation of cards, so you could probably come up with something that would do the trick: GitHub Developer

as would I - really would love the ability to git the projects to local (with cards) and be able to copy them through either the file system or github app or the online repo. |

We had the same need and ended up working around it, using a github action workflow plus metadata file, which isnt as nice as just “copying”, but got us to the outcome we wanted.
