Migration from GIT

1. Add a public ssh key to your account (or a VCS password)

3. Clone repo from other GIT (if you don't already have a local copy) and enter repo

git clone https://rezzonic@git.epfl.ch/repo/scitas-benchmarks.git
cd scitas-benchmarks

4. Switch the remote origin

git remote rename origin old-origin
git remote add origin ssh://git@c4science.ch:2222/diffusion/77/scitas-benchmarks.git

5. Push everything to c4science and set upstream to origin

git push --all --set-upstream origin
git push --tag

6. Wait until all the commits are parsed by phabricator to be available on the web interface

Migration from SVN

• You can either migrate from SVN to GIT (preferred), or SVN to SVN

SVN to GIT

You can use the svn2git utility.

SVN to SVN

- Create a subversion repository
- On the management page before activating the repository go in URIs (on the left panel). In the image below, we migrate the hpc-grid svn repository.
- Add an URI that is the repository to import and select Observe as an I/O Type

- Create the repository URI
- If your repository needs authentication, you can Set a Credential from the URI page

- Activate the repository, this will start the import of data.
- Once it is done, edit the URI you added previously to change the I/O Type to No I/O. You can also change the Display Type to Hidden

Service accounts

If you are using service accounts for your git and svn repositories, you can either use ssh keys on c4science or you can ask for a bot user.
