# Migrating to Buildkite Pipelines

> Buildkite documentation for migrating to Buildkite Pipelines from other CI/CD tools, covering migration guides from Jenkins, GitHub Actions, Bamboo, and CircleCI, plus the AI-powered pipeline converter for translating CI configurations.

## Pipelines

### Introduction

- [Getting started](https://buildkite.com/docs/pipelines/getting-started.md): Step-by-step tutorial for creating your first pipeline, running a build, and understanding Pipelines fundamentals.
- [Create your own pipeline](https://buildkite.com/docs/pipelines/create-your-own.md): Tutorial for writing a pipeline definition for your own code after completing the getting started guide.
- [Buildkite Pipelines architecture](https://buildkite.com/docs/pipelines/architecture.md): Explains the self-hosted (hybrid) and Buildkite hosted architecture models for build environments.

#### Pipeline converter

- [Overview](https://buildkite.com/docs/pipelines/converter.md): Overview of the AI-powered pipeline converter tool that translates CI configs from GitHub Actions, Jenkins, CircleCI, and others.
- [GitHub Actions](https://buildkite.com/docs/pipelines/converter/github-actions.md): How the converter translates GitHub Actions workflows to Buildkite pipelines, including jobs, triggers, matrix, and secrets mapping.
- [Jenkins](https://buildkite.com/docs/pipelines/converter/jenkins.md): How the converter translates Jenkins Scripted and Declarative pipelines to Buildkite, including stages, parameters, and concurrency.
- [CircleCI](https://buildkite.com/docs/pipelines/converter/circleci.md): How the converter translates CircleCI configs to Buildkite pipelines, including workflows, orbs, executors, and matrix strategies.
- [Bitbucket Pipelines](https://buildkite.com/docs/pipelines/converter/bitbucket-pipelines.md): How the converter translates Bitbucket Pipelines configs to Buildkite, including steps, branch pipelines, and parallel execution.

### Connect source control
