Which of the following is not an important consideration for migrating a source repository to GitHub?

Do you want to keep all of the version control history?

Is there project data that lives outside of the history you need to preserve, such as issues, discussions, or pull requests?

Does GitHub support the programming language your project uses?

2.

Why is a .gitignore file important to your repository?

It defines which users are not allowed to participate in your repository discussions and pull requests.

It helps you enforce policy around which files are not to be tracked by version control.
