Docker-cvs2git

This repository is a fork of docker-cvs2git

Info

• This is a Dockerfile that includes all of the packages needed to run cvs2git to convert your CVS repository into a git repository.
• Centos7 based

Usage

• docker build --network host -t cvs2git .
• docker run -it -v /path/to/project:/cvs -v /path/to/wanted/git/repo:/git -v /path/to/log/output:/tmp/cvs_migration cvs2git

Migration with history

• Migration with History
  • Use the included Dockerfile to access cvs2git
  • Convert as mush history as possible
    • cvs2git
  • Push to GitHub

You will need access to the entire source code including the CVSROOT Example: /path/to/cvs

- `/path/to/cvs`
  - inside should be the various projects and `CVSROOT`

• Run the command to convert the CVS to Git
  • cd /cvs/<project>
  • cvs2git --blobfile=/git/git-blob.dat --dumpfile=/git/git-dump.dat --username=<SomeUserName> --fallback-encoding=ascii <project> >> /tmp/cvs_migration/<project>.log
• Once the command finishes, you should have a new git object ready to be created
• cd /git
• Create a new empty git repo
  • git init project
• Change directory into new Git Repo
  • cd <project>
• Import the git data to the repo
  • cat /git/git-blob.dat /git/git-dump.dat | git fast-import
• Cleanup the data
  • git gc --prune=now
• Add a .gitignore to remove CVS history files
  • echo "CVSROOT" >> .gitignore
• Add all data to the repo
  • git add .
• Update the repo to point to the GitHub repo
  • git remote add origin http://github.com/<org>/<repo>.git
  • git config --global user.email "<kdrogo@yourcompany.com>"
  • git config --global user.name "<Khal Drogo>"
  • git config --global push.followTags true
• Create commit message
  • git commit -m "Conversion from CVS to Git"
• Push the code to GitHub
  • git push origin master
  • git push --all
  • git push --tags

At this point you should have now pushed all data from the converted CVS repo into GitHub!
