Git Remote Repository Migration: A Practical Guide to Migrating from SVN to Git

### Why Migrate: SVN, as a centralized tool, has limitations (requires network for commits, inflexible branch management, frequent conflicts). Git, a distributed version control system, supports local repositories, parallel multi-branching, and offline operations, improving team collaboration efficiency. ### Preparation: Install Git, SVN, and `svn2git` (via RubyGems, requires Ruby environment); create an empty Git repository on platforms like GitHub/GitLab; configure Git identity (`user.name` and `user.email`). ### Migration Steps (Taking GitHub as an Example): 1. **Export SVN History**: Use `svn2git` to convert, specifying the SVN repository URL and branch/tag paths (e.g., `--trunk=trunk --branches=branches --tags=tags`). An `authors.txt` file can map SVN authors to Git users. 2. **Push to Remote**: Navigate to the generated Git repository, link the remote address, then push all branches (`git push -u origin --all`) and tags (`git push -u origin --tags`). 3. **Verify Results**: Check branch lists, commit history, and file integrity. ### Common Issues:
