Could you please add a feature to export/import repo data (comments etc.). There is probably an API call for this, but I what I mean is a button "Export data" such that I can export everything and re-import into another Gitea instance.

Thanks.

Export hasn't been implemented yet. There's a WIP PR #1292 that will add functionality similar to this though.

Edit: Export exists (gitea dump) but there's no import yet :trollface:

There are two ways to interpret this issue.

Can the administrator of a Gitea instance export their data and import it into a new instance? The answer appears to be yes. That is great!

Can a user of a Gitea instance export their data and import it into a new instance? The answer appears to be no. I recognize that git repositories can be moved easily to different forges, but there is more to an account than git repositories.
