## About migration paths to GitHub
{% data reusables.migrations.about-migrations %}
{% data reusables.migrations.about-migration-paths %} For some migration paths, we offer specialist tools that allow you to migrate source, history, and metadata. For others, you'll need to perform a simpler "source and history" or "source snapshot" migration.
Some migration paths require tools that are only available with expert-led migrations. For more information, contact your account manager on {% data variables.contact.contact_enterprise_sales %} or see the [{% data variables.product.prodname_expert_services %}](https://github.com/services/) website.
In our recommendations, we'll assume that you want the highest level of fidelity if possible, which includes source, history, and metadata.
