Converting a 5-Year-Old Repository from Subversion to Git
We’ve been using Subversion for DoneDone’s source code hosting since 2009, and it’s served us well over the years. Lately, though, our coworkers at We Are Mammoth and Kin have been using Git (and GitHub) with great results. We started to envy how quickly they were able to create and switch branches, submit pull requests, and manage their merges. We wanted to see if switching to a Git-based workflow would help us streamline our development process, so we decided to try converting DoneDone’s SVN repo to Git.
