Migrate to TeamCity

Converts GitHub Actions or Bamboo pipelines into TeamCity YAML and walks you through the manual steps until builds go green.

Dev & CodingIntermediate★ 120⑂ 16AI score 8/10Last updated: Aug 14, 2026

What it does

  • Detects .github/workflows/ and bamboo-specs/ from the repo root and runs teamcity migrate to emit .tc.yml pipeline files.
  • Explains the migration report, splitting "Needs review" (fix inside the YAML) from "Manual setup needed" (server-side configuration).
  • Provides an ordered checklist: wire up secrets, validate, create the VCS root, create the pipeline, run and debug.
  • Flags real-world gotchas: always use type: script for ./gradlew/./mvnw, prefer GitHub App connections over PATs for private repos, and gate deploy steps before the first run.

Who it's for

  • DevOps and platform engineers moving CI from GitHub Actions or Bamboo to TeamCity.
  • Teams that already have the teamcity CLI and access to a TeamCity server.
  • Anyone who wants more than schema-valid YAML — pipelines that actually pass.

Examples

  1. "Move our CI to TeamCity" → workflows detected → preview with teamcity migrate --dry-run --json → files written.
  2. Converted ${{ secrets.NPM_TOKEN }} becomes %NPM_TOKEN%; the skill guides storing the token and adding the secrets: block.
  3. First run fails → read teamcity run log <id> --failed --raw, patch the YAML, teamcity pipeline push, re-run until green.
