Check SubGit plugin is showed in Gerrit:
- Login to console on Gerrit server and install SubGit tool according to the Installation guide.
- Configure the repository
- Create empty Git repository:
Open Gerrit server console and step into
git
directory withinGERRIT_SITE
:CD to git directory$ cd GERRIT_SITE/git
where
GERRIT_SITE
– the directory that was used as$sitepath

the newly created project directory should be present here and named
<given project name>.git
Git directory contain$ ls -l drwxr-xr-x. 7 root root 100 May 10 12:00 All-Projects.git drwxr-xr-x. 7 root root 100 May 10 12:00 All-Users.git drwxr-xr-x. 7 root root 100 May 11 19:26 project.git
Run this command to configure SubGit import:
$ subgit configure --layout auto --trunk TRUNK SVN_URL GIT_REPO
where
SVN_URL –
SVN project URL.GIT_REPO –
a path to a new Git repository.TRUNK –
a path, relative toSVN_URL
, that leads to an SVN directory that plays the role of the main line of development.
Specify authors mapping
Configure authors mapping in default authors mapping file:
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:
GIT_REPO/subgit/passwd
By default, there's only subgit secret credential pair. Replace it with a username and its corresponding password.
SVN 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.
- Create empty Git repository:
Establish a two-way mirror between SVN and Gerrit by the following command:
$ subgit install GIT_REPO
where
GIT_REPO
– a path to the Git repository.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:
$ git clone GERRIT_URL WORK_TREE
where
GERRIT_URL –
the new Gerrit project URL.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 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.
Try and buy.
Trial 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:
$ sudo subgit register --key subgit.key GIT_REPO
where
GIT_REPO
– a path to your newly created Git repository.- Get support:
