Source imports
{% data variables.migrations.source_imports_intro %}
A typical source import would start the import and then (optionally) update the authors and/or update the preference for using Git LFS if large files exist in the import. You can also create a webhook that listens for the RepositoryImportEvent to find out the status of the import.
A more detailed example can be seen in this diagram:
