Formed in 2009, the Archive Team (not to be confused with the archive.org Archive-It Team) is a rogue archivist collective dedicated to saving copies of rapidly dying or deleted websites for the sake of history and digital heritage. The group is 100% composed of volunteers and interested parties, and has expanded into a large amount of related projects for saving online and digital history.
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.
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: After you've successfully converted your project to Git, you can push it to GitHub.
