2. The integration between git and Subversion is
so well done that several of us have been
using git as our interface to all our Subversion
repositories.”
“
With git-svn you can use git to interface SVN repos
JOHN DOE DEVELOPER
3. GIT SVN
git-svn – use git to interface SVN repos
• Checking out a Subversion repository is as simple as can be
• git-svn clone -s http://example.com/my_subversion_repo local_dir
• Making local branches
• git checkout -b new_branch_name [old_branch_name]
• Adding changes and commiting
• git rm
• git add
• git commit
4. GIT SVN
git-svn – use git to interface SVN repos
• Merging local branches
• git checkout master
• git merge <feature_branch>
• Updating from and committing back to Subversion
• git-svn rebase
• git-svn dcommit
5. git-svn is not Git. To
make use of the full
power of Git, you should
migrate!
svn2git is a tiny utility for migrating projects from Subversion to
Git while keeping the trunk, branches and tags where they
should be.
6. SVN2GIT
svn2git
• Checking out a Subversion repository
• svn2git http://example.com/my_subversion_repo --authors ~/authors.txt
• git branch –a
• git tag –l
• Add remote Git repository
• git remote add origin https://lpsg@apps.xpand-it.com/stash/scm/sandbox/fly-to-the-moon.git
• Push all branches and tags
• git push --all
• git push --tags
7. SVN2GIT
Some work for the extra mile, don’t forget
to:
• Convert .svnignore to .gitignore (there is a helper script for this)
• Create a proper authors file (there is a helper script for this)
• Shutdown, or set your SVN repo to read-only after the migration
8. It is possible to use SVN
and Git at the same time!
SubGit is a tool for a smooth, stress-free SVN to Git migration.
Create writable Git mirror of a local or remote Subversion
repository and use both Subversion and Git as long as you like.
9. SUBGIT MIRROR
• Use SubGit to create a bi-directional
Git-SVN mirror of existing
Subversion repository.
• Push to Git or commit to Subversion
at your convenience.
• SubGit will take care of
synchronization

• vss2git - Windows GUI application that exports all or parts of an existing Microsoft
Visual SourceSafe 6.0 repository to a new Git repository
• git-tfs - a two-way bridge between Team Foundation Server Control and git,
similar to git-svn. TFS 2013 already includes a Git Server (direct migration).
