Is it possible to move discussions from one repo to a different one in the same organization?

Hi @carlosmintfan
An individual discussion, yes. The whole of a repos discussions at once, no.
See Transferring a Discussion

I feel like it could be possible to create a GitHub Action to automate a bulk transfer; but that is past my current skill set. You could post a request for help with creating one in the Actions category.

I checked the GitHub Actions Marketplace to see if one already existed for discussions; they had some super cool tools, but I didn't see one for bulk discussion transfers.

Hi, thank you for your answer. I only have a few discussions anyway, so transferring would not be a problem; however, as changing the preferred repo for organisation discussions would break links, I now prefer to keep it as it is.

To anyone who comes across a similar need, I found that someone has indeed created a bulk transfer tool for this in October 2025: https://josh-ops.com/posts/github-discussions-migration-utility.
