The tool handles Docker and Source-to-Image strategies, migrates Git/binary/image sources, and preserves configuration like environment variables, build arguments, and secrets. The migration follows a discovery, analysis, validation, and conversion workflow. The article provides a complete walkthrough of migrating a BuildConfig with Docker strategy and Git source, including prerequisites, CLI installation, and running the generated build. Currently available as an upstream community capability for evaluation purposes. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
