Export Mercurial(Hg) repository to git repository

Feb 19th

I have been using a git from quite a some time. But there was a project for which we were using Mercurial(Hg).

We decided to move it’s repository to github, after spending some time on google I found many articles but unfortunately none of them worked for me.

But, Finally I managed to move it from Hg to Git.

Following are the steps I followed:

git clone git://repo.or.cz/fast-export.git
mkdir new_git_repo
cd new_git_repo
git init
/path/to/hg-fast-export.sh -r /path/to/hg_repo #hg-fast-export.sh in the clone of step 1
git-repack -a -d -f
git checkout BRANCH_NAME # BRANCH_NAME is the name of Hg branch, in my case it was ‘trunk’

It worked for me very well, hope same to you guys…
