Specify authors mapping
Configure authors mapping in default authors mapping file:
GIT_REPOS/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.
- Create an empty Git repository:
Import data into the Git repository by the following command:
$ subgit import GIT_REPO
where
GIT_REPO
– a path to the Git repository.When the command is completed, you can clone your new Git repository and start working with it:
$ git clone GIT_REPO WORK_TREE
where
WORK_TREE
– a path to your working copy.Empty 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 the automatic branches and tags mapping didn't work correctly. In this case, mapping has to be set manually, see details on mapping in the Branches and tags mapping.
