We recommend using GitHub Importer to import projects from Subversion, Mercurial, Team Foundation Server, or another Git repository. You can also use these external tools to convert your project to Git.
{% endif %}
Importing from Subversion
In a typical Subversion environment, multiple projects are stored in a single root repository. On GitHub, each of these projects will usually map to a separate Git repository for a user account or organization. We suggest importing each part of your Subversion repository to a separate GitHub repository if:
- Collaborators need to check out or commit to that part of the project separately from the other parts
- You want different parts to have their own access permissions
We recommend these tools for converting Subversion repositories to Git:
Importing from Mercurial
We recommend hg-fast-export for converting Mercurial repositories to Git.
Importing from Team Foundation Server
We recommend these tools for moving changes between Team Foundation Server and Git:
{% tip %}
Tip: After you've successfully converted your project to Git, you can push it to {% data variables.product.prodname_dotcom %}.
{% endtip %}
{% if currentVersion == "free-pro-team@latest" %}
