Thanks a lot for getting on this @kclowes, especially the testing!
Small comment to avoid having to any manual patching up if labels don't exist in the target repo.

From the description:
This will transfer labels if they exist on both repos and can translate one label to another.
I think we should add these labels ahead of time (also to help us to agree on our label set), this is:
My suggestion would be to error out (or verbosely skip) if the label doesn't exist in the target repo and abort the transfer. If successfully transferred issues get closed, it should be trivial to run the script again without any side effects.

Why don't you use the "issue transfer" feature? https://cli.github.com/manual/gh_issue_transfer |

Thanks @chfast. That does simplify the logic. I was going too fast only focused on whether or not it worked, not the actual code. Will update! |

Updated and tested! Much cleaner :) |
We shouldn't need to merge this one, but would love any feedback around testing it out. It's pretty sloppy, but I'm less concerned about style and more concerned about the functionality since it's not something we'll maintain. This script will move issues from one repo to another and close the issues that get moved.
There are flags to do a
--dry-runand--limitso we can test it out ahead of time on the actual repos.This will transfer labels if they exist on both repos and can translate one label to another. Also transfers milestones if they exist on both repos. Assignees will transfer, but I'm not sure if they have to have maintainer status in order for them to transfer. See #2143 for more functionality details around sub-issues.
As seen in the script, I made up a couple test repos to test things out. Feel free to play around with those if you'd like to test!
