# Migrating from SVN to GitLab | ||
|
||
SVN stands for Subversion and is a version control system (VCS). | ||
Git is a distributed revision control and source code management (SCM) system. | ||
|
||
There are some major differences between the two, for more information consult your favourite search engine. | ||
|
||
Git has tools for migrating SVN repositories to git, namely `git svn`. You can read more about this at | ||
[git documentation pages](http://git-scm.com/book/en/Git-and-Other-Systems-Git-and-Subversion). | ||
|
||
Apart from the [official git documentation](http://git-scm.com/book/en/Git-and-Other-Systems-Migrating-to-Git) there is also | ||
user created step by step guide for migrating from SVN to GitLab. | ||
|
||
[Benjamin New](https://github.com/leftclickben) wrote [a guide that shows how to do a migration](https://gist.github.com/leftclickben/322b7a3042cbe97ed2af). Mirrors can be found [here](https://gitlab.com/snippets/2168) and [here](https://gist.github.com/maxlazio/f1b593b0d00aa966e9ca). | ||
