Upon completion, you will have a Git checkout of your repository. This command can take a few minutes to several hours depending on the size of the SVN repository. To extract a list of all SVN users from the root of your local Subversion checkout, run this PowerShell command: svn.exe log -quiet | ? However, you can create a mapping file for SVN users along with their corresponding Git names and emails. By default, the git-svn tool will list the SVN username in the author and email fields. Subversion just uses the username for each commit, while Git stores both a real name and an email address. Retrieve a list of all Subversion authors This is the recommended format for sharing a Git repository via a remote repository hosted on a service like Azure Repos.īare Git repositories are structured differently and given the fact that it doesn't have a working directory prevent direct commit to the repository.
A bare Git repository does not have a local working checkout of files that can be changed, instead it only contains the repository's history and the metadata about the repository itself. The goal of this step is to convert the source Subversion repository to a local bare Git repository. You will also need to create a Git repository for your organization to host the converted SVN repository, you may follow Create a new Git repo in your projectĬonvert the source SVN repository to a local Git repository
The result will be a bare Git repository for sharing with the rest of your team.īefore you try to migrate your source code from a centralized version control system to Git, be sure that you familiarize yourself with the differences between centralized and distributed version control systems, and plan your team's migration.
These steps give a detailed overview of the process for migrating from SVN to Git in a Windows environment, without synchronizing back to the original SVN repository. The approach outlined in this article is based on using git-svn, a Git extension, which can be used to check out a Subversion repository to a local Git repository and then push changes from the local Git repository back to the Subversion repository. There are several ways to migrate from SVN to Git. Your directory setup has changed over time.Your repository follows a non-standard directory setup.Your team has performed many branching and merging operations.You have a standard setup of a trunk, branches, and tags directory.SVN migrations to Git can vary in complexity, depending on how old the repository is and how many branches were created and merged, and whether you're using regular SVN or close relative like SVK. This guidance will introduce a migration with history.
However, many people want to perform a more advanced migration, including history. When moving to Git from another version control system like Subversion (SVN), we generally recommend that you perform a " tip migration", which migrates just the latest version of the repository contents, without including history.
