Migrate GitLab projects from a GitLab group to another GitLab's group

---

## Purpose

The migration can be performed between entirely different GitLab servers.

The following steps are required before using the tool:

- The groups need to be created manually by the user or by a GitLab administrator
- The GitLab user tokens must be created with an `api` scope (a short expiration date is recommended)

---

## Examples

<!-- prettier-ignore-start -->

```bash
# Show the helper menu
gitlab-projects-migrate

# Migrate projects from one group to another, then migrate subgroups
gitlab-projects-migrate 'https://gitlab.com' 'old/group' 'https://gitlab.com' 'new/group'
gitlab-projects-migrate 'https://gitlab.com' 'old/group/subgroup1' 'https://gitlab.com' 'new/group/subgroup1'
gitlab-projects-migrate 'https://gitlab.com' 'old/group/subgroup2' 'https://gitlab.com' 'new/group/subgroup2'

# Migrate projects from one GitLab to another GitLab
gitlab-projects-migrate 'https://old.gitlab.com' 'group/subgroup' 'https://new.gitlab.com'
```

## Userspace available settings

`gitlab-projects-migrate` creates a `settings.ini` configuration file in a userspace folder.

For example, it allows to disable the automated updates daily check (`[updates] > enabled`)

The `settings.ini` file location and contents can be shown with the following command:

```bash
gitlab-projects-migrate --settings
```
