How to migrate from SVN to Git
Tuesday, January 20, 2026
Migrating from Subversion to Git preserves complete repository history, branches, tags, and author information while transitioning to distributed version control. With over 25 years of software development experience and as the creator of CoreUI, I’ve migrated numerous legacy SVN repositories to Git. Git’s git-svn tool enables bidirectional communication with SVN repositories and full migration with history preservation. This approach ensures seamless transition from centralized to distributed version control with complete audit trail.
