- If you're importing from GitHub Enterprise to your self-managed GitLab instance:
- You must first enable [GitHub integration](../../../integration/github.md).
- To import projects from GitHub Enterprise to GitLab.com, use the [Import API](../../../api/import.md).
- If GitLab is behind a HTTP/HTTPS proxy you must populate the [allowlist for local requests](../../../security/webhooks.md#allowlist-for-local-requests)
with `github.com` and `api.github.com` to solve the hostname. For more information, read the issue
[Importing a GitHub project requires DNS resolution even when behind a proxy](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/37941)
- If you're importing from GitHub.com to your self-managed GitLab instance,
setting up GitHub integration is not required. You can use the [Import API](../../../api/import.md).
