You can get at most everything through:

   https://developer.github.com/v3/

For example:

   https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/user/project/import/github.html

Commit history is in the Git repos, of course.

It's probably easier to backup/leave Github than most project hosting 
sites, even self-hosted ones.
