Your initial repository structure looks the schematic below. We want to split dir1, dir2 and dir3 into separate repositories. ``` myrepo ├── dir1 │   ├── myfile1 │   ├── myfile2 │   └── myfile3 ├── dir2 │   ├── myfile1 │   ├── myfile2 │   ├── myfile3 │   └── myfile4 └── dir3 └── myfile ``` ## GIT You can use `git subtree` to extract only one part of your repository, including its history. Here's a complete example on how to create new repositories from one repository with multiple directories. On your computer, create empty repositories ``` mkdir /tmp/repo-dir{1,2,3} cd /tmp/repo-dir1; git init --bare cd /tmp/repo-dir2; git init --bare cd /tmp/repo-dir3; git init --bare ``` Go to the original repository and create one branch per directory you want to split ``` cd myrepo git subtree split --prefix=dir1 -b dir1-branch git subtree split --prefix=dir2 -b dir2-branch git subtree split --prefix=dir3 -b dir3-branch ``` Push the branch of the original repository to the new local repositories on a new master branch ``` git push /tmp/repo-dir1 dir1-branch:master git push /tmp/repo-dir2 dir2-branch:master git push /tmp/repo-dir3 dir3-branch:master ``` Create the repositories on c4science, set the remote on your local repository for each new repository and push the new repositories to c4science ``` cd /tmp/repo-dir1; git remote add origin ssh://git@c4science.ch/diffusion/NNNN/; git push -u origin master cd /tmp/repo-dir2; git remote add origin ssh://git@c4science.ch/diffusion/NNNN/; git push -u origin master cd /tmp/repo-dir3; git remote add origin ssh://git@c4science.ch/diffusion/NNNN/; git push -u origin master ``` Deactivate the original repository on c4science and potentially [[/maniphest/task/edit/form/8/ | ask an administrator]] to remove the repository. Enjoy your new tinier repositories :-) ## SVN COMING SOON

You can now remove the temporary bare repositories (/tmp/repo-dir1, /tmp/repo-dir2, /tmp/repo-dir3) and clone them from c4science. Enjoy your new tinier repositories :-) ## SVN You have two solutions, 1. Contact the administrator and ask for a specific split solution (which directories goes where) and we will do it for you 2. Migrate your repository to GIT and split it yourself at the same time Here's how to migrate your repository from SVN to GIT, * Get a specific directory (dir1, ...) of your SVN repository and check it out as GIT: ``` cd /tmp git svn clone svn+ssh://git@c4science.ch/diffusion/XXX/dir1 ``` * [[ c4science/simplerepo | Create a new repository ]] on c4science to host this sub-repository `dir1`, add the remote and push ``` cd dir1 git remote add origin ssh://git@c4science.ch/diffusion/YYYY/ git push -u origin master ``` And voila, ask the c4science admin to remove your old SVN repository
