There are two tools to chose from: svn2git, and a tool provided by Atlassaian (https://www.atlassian.com/git/tutorials/migrating-overview).
This is the tool svn2git https://github.com/nirvdrum/svn2git packaged as a Docker container. It's been packaged to simplify installment of the actual tools needed.
- Docker installed
- Tweak the shell scripts if you need to add more options to svn2git.
The steps involved are:
- Run
extract-authors.sh - Edit
authors.txt - Run
migrate-to-git.sh(this can take a while) - Check that the local Git repo is ok
- Push to remote Git repo (e.g. GitHub, Stash)
First run extract-authors.sh to extract the users from the SVN repos.
E.g.:
extract-authors.sh http://mydomain.example.com/repos/my/repo $PWD
This will create a file authors.txt. Edit that file and add names and emails to use in the Git repo. E.g. final file should look like:
john = John Doe <[email protected]>
jane = Jane Doe <[email protected]>
Once you're done you can run migrate-to-git.sh. E.g.:
migrate-to-git.sh http://mydomain.example.com/repos/my/repo $PWD
