1.4 Setup the database

Run command line (cmd) and enter the line: mysql -u root –password=root

You will be connected to MySQL Monitor. To change the password write the following line:

$ SET PASSWORD FOR 'root'@'localhost' = PASSWORD('custompassword');

Where ‘custompassword’ is the password that you chose.

Enter the line:

$ show databases;

(Make sure you have put semicolon(;) at the end of the line) to see the list of databases.

Create a database for Gogs with the line:

$ create database gogs;

To check if the database was created write the line

$ show databases

again.

If “gogs” database is present in the list, you are good to go. Enter “exit” and close the cmd.

2.1 Download Gogs

Download Gogs and unpack into the its working directory.

2.2 Set Gogs up

Open the command prompt window and navigate to the directory where you have unpacked Gogs and run the following command:

gogs web

this will launch Gogs server, to proceed with the installation, enter the following web-address to address bar of your browser: 127.0.0.1:3000

If you have done everything right, a configuration page will show up:

Write the password of your database in the “Password” field and feel free to configure the Gogs at your discretion, but if you do not mind default settings, then simply hit “Install Gogs” button.

2.3 Create a repository

After pressing “Install Gogs” button you will be redirected to login page. If you have not entered administrator accounts data on the configuration page, simply register an account, it will be granted administrators attributes automatically.

Here, enter the data of your new repository and hit “Create Repository” button.

3.1 Download SubGit

Download SubGit and unpack it into it’s working directory.

3.2 Set SubGit up

Open the command prompt window and navigate to the “bin” directory inside of the directory where you have unpacked SubGit:

And run the following command:

$ subgit-3.3.1/bin/subgit configure --layout auto SVN_URL REPOS.GIT

where SVN_URL is an url leading to svn repository and REPOS.GIT is a path leading to git repository, created with Gogs (By default Gogs repositories are locating at C:\Users\%username%\gogs-repositories\%gogsAccountname%).

Example:

$ subgit configure --layout auto file:///E:\SVN C:\Users\Kiseki\gogs-repositories\kiseki\tmate.github.io.git

and then run the following command:

$ subgit-3.3.1/bin/subgit install REPOS.GIT

where REPOS.GIT is (Yet again) a path leading to git repository, created with Gogs.

Example:

$ subgit install C:\Users\Kiseki\gogs-repositories\kiseki\tmate.github.io.git

If application reports the successful installation, that means that subgit is now synchronized with your SVN and Gogs repositories.

Our congratulations on successful installation of Gogs :)
