The Dataverse Network Project ( http://thedata.org ) is planning on migrating from svn on SourceForge to git on GitHub.

This repo will capture the migration process.

When we're done, we'll update http://guides.thedata.org/book/3-check-out-new-copy-dvn-source

The gh-pages branch of this repo contains the source for guide for DVN developers to transition to GitHub: http://dvn.github.com/dvn-sourceforge2github

# RVM:  Shell scripts enabling management of multiple ruby environments.
# RTFM: https://rvm.io/
# HELP: http://webchat.freenode.net/?channels=rvm (#rvm on irc.freenode.net)
# Cheatsheet: http://cheat.errtheblog.com/s/rvm/
# Screencast: http://screencasts.org/episodes/how-to-use-rvm

# In case of any issues read output of 'rvm requirements' and/or 'rvm notes'

Installation of RVM in /Users/pdurbin/.rvm/ is almost complete:

  * To start using RVM you need to run `source /Users/pdurbin/.rvm/scripts/rvm`
    in all your open shell windows, in rare cases you need to reopen all shell windows.

# Philip Durbin,
#
#   Thank you for using RVM!
#   I sincerely hope that RVM helps to make your life easier and
#   more enjoyable!!!

Run conversion script and push repo to GitHub

Note that we clone this repo to a new directory and remove all of .git because a new .git directory will be created. The conversion files remain (seen by git status) but we simply won't commit them as we don't want them to be part of the source tree.

At this point we create a new repo on GitHub. The test import repos are going under https://github.com/dvn but the final repo will go under https://github.com/IQSS

Finally, we push the local repo to GitHub:

murphy:dvn-svn-import-test4 pdurbin$ git remote add origin git@github.com:dvn/dvn-svn-import-test4.git
murphy:dvn-svn-import-test4 pdurbin$ git push -u origin master
