Would you pay for a tool that imports

A) All your code into GitHub ( now free for teams)
Or
B) anything else in the import / export space?

My first thread on IH. Thanks and stay safe.

    I don't think so.
    If the project is structured in an easy way that the tool could pick up by itself, then migrating to github or other version control would be easy and painless enaugh that nobody would pay to use a tool for that.
    If the project is structured in a complicated and strange way, setting up the tool for that might take longer than just doing it yourself, so I dont think that you could help those people either.

    But if you manage to make a solution that helps people with complicated setups without that much configuring at the start, even I might be interested in that because I have a disk full with projects in

    • different eclipse/intellij workspaces
    • git repos
    • projects in over 10 different languages / frameworks

    that are all structured in a different way and therefore I never tried to push them on my private github.
    So if your tool could manage that, I'd probably use it. Don't know about the pricing though.
