Importing projects from Mercurial

{% data reusables.enterprise_installation.ssh-into-instance %} 2. Make a raw clone of the project using the command below, specifying the URL of the source project, and a path to a temporary repository:

$ git-import-hg-raw <em>HG-CLONE-URL</em> /<em>PATH</em>/<em>REPO-NAME</em>.git
# Creates a new repository with one or more Git refs in "refs/import/" in the specified path.

{% data reusables.enterprise_migrations.review-the-import-csv %} 4. Rewrite the authors and branches using the CSV file:

$ git-import-rewrite --flavor hg --authors /<em>PATH</em>/<em>AUTHORS-MAP-FILE</em>.csv /<em>PATH</em>/<em>REPO-NAME</em>.git

5. If you haven't yet, [create a new empty repository on {% data variables.product.prodname_ghe_server %}](/enterprise/{{ currentVersion }}/user/articles/creating-a-new-repository). {% data reusables.command_line.switching_directories_procedural %}
6. Push the imported repository to {% data variables.product.prodname_ghe_server %}:

$ git push --mirror <em>PUSH-URL-ON-GITHUB-ENTERPRISE</em>

Importing projects from Subversion

{% data reusables.enterprise_installation.ssh-into-instance %} 2. Make a raw clone of the project using the command below, specifying the URL of the source project, and a path to a temporary repository:
