Can I convert the Codeplex repository to GitHub?

Question

A simple question: is it possible to deploy the Codeplex repository on my GitHub?

Thanks.

Answer 1

Yes, you can use the GitHub Importer and read its documentation .

Answer 2

Yes, but you need to first clone the Codeplex repository using Git, as shown in Using Git with CodePlex "

You can then change the "start" of rmeote and point it to the new and empty GitHub repository that you created.

cd /path/to/local/clone git remote set-url origin https:// [e-mail] /username/newrepo git push --mirror 

Answer 3

• If it is an SVN repository, you cannot use the github importer, bitbucket importer, git svn , svnrdump and even git2svn (it is simply incompatible and causes errors because it is not real svn, but TFS) - so you can only check and click on github latest version of the repository. The loss of the whole story is very sad.

• If you want to unlock the git repository from codeplex, you can do it like with any other git repository - just like the VonC described in his answer - add both sources, pull them out of the code and click on github.
