1. Install Java Runtime environment and SubGit binaries according to the Installation guide.
   
   

2. Configure repository

   • Run this command on behalf of the same user you use to serve Git repository

     $ 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 to SVN_URL, that leads to an SVN directory that plays the role of the main line of development.
        

     $ subgit configure --layout auto --trunk trunk http://example.com/svn/repository/project ./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 : ./repo.git Detecting peg location... Authentication realm: <http://example.com:80> Subversion Repository Username [user]: user Password [user]: Peg location detected: r10248 project/trunk Fetching SVN history... Done. Growing trees... Done. Project origin detected: r1 project/trunk Building branches layouts... Done. Combing beards... Done. Generating SVN to Git mapping... Done. 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:

     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 manual.

      

   • 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.

     There are several methods to configure authentication to access the 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. Perform SubGit installation. 
   

   • Install SubGit into the repository by the command:

     $ subgit install GIT_REPO

     where 

         GIT_REPO – a path to the Git repository.

     $ subgit install /home/user/repo.git SubGit version 3.2.4 ('Bobique') build #3670 Translating Subversion revisions to Git commits... Subversion revisions translated: 10248. Total time: 2 hours 15 minutes 23 seconds. INSTALLATION SUCCESSFUL Your copy of SubGit is not registered for repository at '/home/user/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.

     
     

4. When the command completes, you can clone your new Git repository and start to work with it:

   $ git clone GIT_REPO WORK_TREE

   where 

       WORK_TREE – a path to your working copy.

   $ git clone file:///home/user/repo.git /home/user/repo_working_copy Cloning into '/home/user/repo_working_copy'... remote: Counting objects: 99, done. remote: Compressing objects: 100% (89/89), done. remote: Total 99 (delta 51), reused 0 (delta 0) Receiving objects: 100% (99/99), 8.96 KiB | 0 bytes/s, done. Resolving deltas: 100% (51/51), done.

   
   

   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.

   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.

   $ sudo subgit register --key subgit.key /home/user/repo.git SubGit version 3.2.4 ('Bobique') build #3670 Registration information: Registered for: Example company Purchase ID: OS-111111111111111 Expiration date: April 23, 2028 You may use this key to register 9 more repositories (out of 10). REGISTRATION SUCCESSFUL Thank you for registering SubGit! Visit http://www.subgit.com/ in case you have any questions and for more information on SubGit.
