Cloning SVN repository to git and pushing to GitLab

svn_clone.md

Import SVN repository to GitLab

• Create new project in GitLab
• Clone SVN to git

On local command line:

1. Create users.txt file in folder where new repository will go. Add usernames, names and email address of each user, like so:

   mcc.pete Pete Robinson <[email protected]>
   

2. Clone SVN repository into a git repository:

   git svn clone --stdlayout --no-metadata -A users.txt https://web.srvrs.co.uk/svn/apache-yubikey
   

   This can be slow, be patient.

3. cd apache-yubikey

4. Create new project in GitLab

5. git remote add origin [email protected]:ttm/apache-yubikey.git

   Command will be listed on gitlab project screen when you create new project -- copy from there.

6. git push -u origin master

note: If there are unknown users, the git svn clone command will stop, in which case, update users.txt, cd apache-yubikey and git svn fetch will continue from where it stopped.
