Here we discus how to migrate the Subversion repository into a new Git repository.
We’ll do it with a handy git svn utility. We will refer Gitlab/Github as the destination Git server.
Create a new project on Gitlab: https://\<gitlab-address\>/projects/new and clone it into your local machine
git svn clone https://<svn-address>/<projectname>
cd <projectname>
git remote add origin git@gitlab.newentity.it:newentity-sas/<projectname>.git
git push -u origin master
Now backup your SVN project folder
cp -raux <projectname> <projectname>.`date +'%Y%m%d'`
And remove .svn folders
cd <projectname>
rm -rf `find . -type d -name .svn`
Init GIT
git init
Config GIT
git config --global user.name "Full Name"
git config --global user.email "Email@example.com"
Check the remote url
git config remote.origin.url
Change the remote origin
git config remote.origin.url git@<gitlab-url>:<username>/<projectname>.git
Create a .gitignore file
echo "<projectname>.sublime*" > .gitignore
Add files
git add .
Commit il progetto
git commit -m "init <projectname>"
[master 820fe97] init <projectname>
Pull and merge from remote
git pull
Push into remote
git push -u origin master
