svn2git

Subversion to Git migration tool.

Uses git-svn to clone a Subversion repository including all its tags to Git. Optionally pushes everything to a remote repository.

Table of Contents

Getting Started

Important: since version 2.1.0 svn2git migrate does not asume standard layout for subversion repositories anymore. To migrate a subversion repository with standard layout you can use the same options as available on git svn clone:

$ bin/svn2git migrate [-A|--authors-file="..."] [--remote="..."] [-s|--stdlayout] [-T|--trunk="..."] [-b|--branches="..."] [-t|--tags="..."] [--preserve-empty-dirs] [--placeholder-filename="..."] source

Check the migrate command help or the git svn man pages for more information.

Install Dependencies

git
git-svn
composer install
