# get the hg-fast-export util
git clone git://repo.or.cz/fast-export.git # create your git target repo, and cd into it. git init git_migration_target_repo cd git_migration_target_repo # export the hg repo into (current git repo) /path/to/hg-fast-export.sh -r /path/to/old/mercurial_repo # don't forget to do this! or git status will show you a bunch of deletes git checkout HEAD |
Augments:
- Under Debian, you can issue aptitude update && aptitude hg-fast-export, rather than cloning the repo, unless you want the latest and greatest I suppose.
- My main use case was converting my bitbucket repo to git, I did the following:
- bitbucket: renamed the mercurial repo (say call it “foo”) to foo-hg
- bitbucket: created a git foo repo
- local: git clone the empty foo bitbucket repo
- local: perform the migration above into the cloned repo
- local: push the cloned repo to bitbucket
- bitbucket: trash foo-hg!
