Importing projects from Mercurial

{% data reusables.enterprise_installation.ssh-into-instance %}

  1. Make a raw clone of the project using the command below, specifying the URL of the source project, and a path to a temporary repository:

    $ git-import-hg-raw HG-CLONE-URL/PATH/REPO-NAME.git
# Creates a new repository with one or more Git refs in "refs/import/" in the specified path.

{% data reusables.enterprise_migrations.review-the-import-csv %}

  1. Rewrite the authors and branches using the CSV file:

    git-import-rewrite --flavor hg --authors /PATH/AUTHORS-MAP-FILE.csv /PATH/REPO-NAME.git

  2. If you haven't yet, create a new empty repository on {% data variables.product.prodname_ghe_server %}. {% data reusables.command_line.switching_directories_procedural %}

  3. Push the imported repository to {% data variables.product.prodname_ghe_server %}:

    git push --mirror PUSH-URL-ON-GITHUB-ENTERPRISE

Importing projects from Subversion

{% data reusables.enterprise_installation.ssh-into-instance %}

  1. Make a raw clone of the project using the command below, specifying the URL of the source project, and a path to a temporary repository:

    $ git-import-svn-raw SVN-CLONE-URL /PATH/REPO-NAME.git
# Creates a new repository with one or more Git refs in "refs/import/" in the specified path.

{% data reusables.enterprise_migrations.review-the-import-csv %}

    git-import-rewrite --flavor svn --authors /PATH/AUTHORS-MAP-FILE.csv /PATH/REPO-NAME.git

  2. If you haven't yet, create a new empty repository on {% data variables.product.prodname_ghe_server %}. {% data reusables.command_line.switching_directories_procedural %}
