SubGit mirror in Windows
At the moment SubGit requires file-level access to Git repository which is not feasible with repositories hosted on GitHub. However, due to distributed nature of Git, it is possible to establish reliable two-way mirror between SVN and SubGit-managed Git repository and then synchronize that Git repository with GitHub.
Configure GitHub
- login to GitHub and create new repository:
Configure local server (the machine where Git repository will reside)
download an appropriate Java Runtime Environment pack from the web site:
https://java.com/en/download
double click on the file and follow installation wizard.
Download subgit-3.2.4.zip archive and unzip it:
https://subgit.com/download/subgit-3.2.4.zip
right-click on the subgit-3.2.4.zip and choose 'Extract all' in the menu.
Download and install Git for Windows: https://git-scm.com/download/win
Configure local repository
- Run the command below on behalf of the same user you use to serve Git repository:
> subgit-3.2.4binsubgit.bat configure --layout auto --trunk trunk SVNURL GITREPO > To be added into pop-up cloud (when hovering on SVNURL and GITREPO): > > SVN_URL - URL to the SVN project. > > GIT_REPO - path to new Git repository where data from the SVN project will be imported to. see command example --> (to be placed in drop-down block):
subgit-3.2.4bin> subgit.bat configure --layout auto --trunk trunk http://example.com/svn/repository/project C:repo.git SubGit version 3.2.4 ('Bobique') build #3670
Configuring writable Git mirror of remote Subversion repository: Subversion repository URL : http://example.com/svn/repository/project Git repository location : C:repo.git
Detecting peg location... Authentication realm: http://example.com:80 Subversion Repository Username [user]: user Password for 'user': Peg location detected: r10248 project/trunk Fetching SVN history... Done. Growing trees...

CONFIGURATION SUCCESSFUL
To complete SubGit installation do the following:
1) Adjust Subversion to Git branches mapping if necessary: C:repo.gitsubgitconfig 2) Define at least one Subversion credentials in default SubGit passwd file at: C:repo.gitsubgitpasswd OR configure SSH or SSL credentials in the [auth] section of: C:repo.gitsubgitconfig 3) Optionally, add custom authors mapping to the authors.txt file(s) at: C:repo.gitsubgitauthors.txt 4) Run SubGit 'install' command: subgit install "C:repo.git"
- Run the command below on behalf of the same user you use to serve Git repository:
For complete `subgit configure` reference see [Import book](https://subgit.com/import-book.html#16)
- Enable post-receive hook:
> git config -f GIT_REPO\subgit\config svn.triggerSvnPostReceive true
> **To be added into pop-up cloud (when hovering on GIT_REPO):**
>
> **GIT_REPO** - path to new Git repository where data from the SVN project will be imported to.
- Specify authors mapping
Update GIT_REPOS\subgit\authors.txt file or change core.authors option to point to global authors mapping
Find more details about authors mapping in [Import book](https://subgit.com/import-book.html#20)
- There are several methods to configure authentication to access SVN server, but we use plain text password file here to simplify the guide. If this method does not fit your needs - find authentication details in [Remote book](https://subgit.com/remote-book.html#15).
Specify an username and password to be used by SubGit in `subgit/passwd` file. By default, there's the 'subgit secret' credential pair in the file; replace it by 'user password' pair to be used to access SVN server by SubGit.Perform SubGit installation into local Git repository:
- Install SubGit into repository by the command:
subgit-3.2.4bin> subgit.bat install GIT_REPO see command example --> (to be placed in drop-down block):
subgit-3.2.4bin> subgit.bat install C:repo.git
SubGit version 3.2.4 ('Bobique') build #3670

INSTALLATION SUCCESSFUL
Your copy of SubGit is not registered for repository at 'C:repo.git'.
Obtain registration key at http://www.subgit.com/ and register SubGit with 'register' command; registration is free for Open Source, Educational and Startup projects.
To uninstall SubGit use 'uninstall' command.
- Install SubGit into repository by the command:
Sync local Git repository with GitHub
locate the folder where Git for Windows is installed to (usually
C:\Program Files\Git) and opengit-bash.exe:
step into newly created local Git repository $ cd GITREPO for example, if GITREPO resides in
c:\repo.git$ cd /c/repo.git
add remote to the local Git repository $ git remote add github GITHUBREPO > **To be added into pop-up cloud (when hovering on GITHUBREPO): > > GITHUB_REPO** - GitHub remote repository URL
see command example --> (to be placed in drop-down block):
$ git remote add github https://github.com/user/project
- enable caching your GitHub password in Git:
$ git config --global credential.helper wincred
- push local repository content into GitHub repository
$ git push github --all --follow-tags
you'll be asked for GutHub credentials:
once provided they will be cached for future push requests.
***see command example --> (to be placed in drop-down block):***
$ git push github --all --follow-tags
Logon failed, use ctrl+c to cancel basic credential prompt.

- create post-receive hook script:
$ cp GIT_REPO/hooks/user-post-receive.sample GIT_REPO/hooks/user-post-receive
$ sed -i -- 's/exit 0/git push --all --follow-tags github/g' GIT_REPO/hooks/user-post-receiveIn order to maintain reliable two-way mirror using setup described above, Git users have to push their changes to SubGit-managed Git repository rather than submitting changes to GitHub repository directly. If nevertheless you need to fetch changes from GitHub - follow the instruction in GitHub mirror full guide.
