Note This was a quick throw together works for me fine :) export your jira issues as xml and this will import into github issues. Requires Github Token (requires repo access)

Exporting Jira issues
Go to jira issues & filters -> search, filter out the issues that u want to import into your github project, then export/save as a xml file...

Importing Jira issues
git clone git@github.com:lukesUbuntu/jira-2-github.git

cd jira-2-github

npm i

npm run build

cd dist

edit config.json and update with required details

{ "githubToken": "YOUR_GITHUB_OAUTH_TOKEN", // https://github.com/settings/tokens/new (requires repo access) "githubUsername": "YOUR_GITHUB_USERNAME", // github username "githubRepo": "YOUR_GITHUB_REPO", // repo you want to import issues to "jiraXmlFile": "FULL PATH TO XML FILE", // the xml file you exported the issues to "dryRun": false // test run first to see imported issues } 

node app.js

you will get a console.log of what would be imported, if happy edit config change dryRun to false and then node app.js

Going to make a electron deskop app for easy importing and repo selection
