+Want to migrate a project to Git? If it's managed with one of the more well-known systems, then chances are someone has already written a script to export the whole history to Git.
0
+
0
+Otherwise, take a look at *git fast-import*. This command takes text input in a specific format and creates Git history from scratch. Typically a script is cobbled together and run once to feed this command, migrating the project in a single shot.

 In true UNIX fashion, Git's design allows it to be easily used as a low-level component of other programs. There are GUI interfaces, web interfaces, alternative command-line interfaces, and perhaps soon you will have a script or two of your own that calls Git.
