                  CONFIGURATION SUCCESSFUL
      
                  To complete SubGit installation do the following:
      
                  1) Adjust Subversion to Git branches mapping if necessary:
                      /home/user/repo.git/subgit/config
                  2) Define at least one Subversion credentials in default SubGit passwd file at:
                      /home/user/repo.git/subgit/passwd
                     OR configure SSH or SSL credentials in the [auth] section of:
                      /home/user/repo.git/subgit/config
                  3) Optionally, add custom authors mapping to the authors.txt file(s) at:
                      /home/user/repo.git/subgit/authors.txt
                  4) Run SubGit 'install' command:
                      subgit install ./repo.git



    • Specify authors mapping

      Configure authors mapping in default authors mapping file:

      No Format
      GIT_REPO/subgit/authors.txt 

      Or change core.authors option so that it points to the global authors mapping file.

      Find more details about authors mapping in the Authors mapping article.


    • Specify a username and password that are used by SubGit to access the SCN repository. Edit passwd file:

      No Format
      GIT_REPO/subgit/passwd

      By default, there's only subgit secret credential pair. Replace it with a username and its corresponding password.

      Info
      titleSVN authentication

      There are several methods to configure authentication to access SVN server, but we use a plain text password file here to simplify the guide. See more authentication methods in SVN Authentication if this method does not fit your needs.

       

  3. Establish a two-way mirror between SVN and Gerrit by the following command:

    No Format
    $ subgit install GIT_REPO 

    where 

        GIT_REPO – a path to the Git repository.

    languagetext
    themeFadeToGrey

       SubGit version 3.2.4 ('Bobique') build #3670
    
       Translating Subversion revisions to Git commits...
    
       Subversion revisions translated: 10248.
       Total time: 2 hours 15 minutes 24 seconds.
    
       INSTALLATION SUCCESSFUL 



  4. When the command completed, the mirror is established and data from SVN is translated to Gerrit, so you can clone your new Git repository and start to work with it:

    No Format
    $ git clone GERRIT_URL WORK_TREE

    where

    • GERRIT_URL – the new Gerrit project URL.
    • WORK_TREE  – a path to your working copy.

    $ git clone http://gerrit.example.com/user/project.git /home/user/project.git
      Cloning into '/home/user//project.git'...
      Password for 'http://gerrit.example.com': 
      remote: Counting objects: 99, done.
      remote: Compressing objects: 100% (39/39), done.
      remote: Total 99 (delta 50), reused 99 (delta 50)
      Unpacking objects: 100% (99/99), done.



    Warning
    titleEmpty working tree case

    If Git warns you that you are cloning an empty repository and you don't see your files in the working tree, most probably automatic branches and tags mapping didn't work correctly. In this case, mapping has to be set manually, see details on mapping in Branches and tags mapping.


  5. Try and buy.

    Info
    titleTrial period

    Note: the trial period for SubGit mirror is 30 days, after that period you should buy a license key at https://subgit.com/pricing

    Once you receive an email with a license key, upload this license key to your server and run the following command:

    No Format
    $ sudo subgit register --key subgit.key GIT_REPO

    where

         GIT_REPO – a path to your newly created Git repository.
