GIT-SVN Crib Sheet

GIT can interact with a SubVersion repository. This is my “Quick-Reference” page for doing just that.

Interacting with the SVN central repository

SVN	GIT	Notes
svn up	git rebase	Only applicable when merging to/from other local branches
svn commit	git commit
svn log –limit={N}	git log -n{N}
svn blame	git blame
svn info	-	N/A for local GIT
svn checkout	git clone
svn cat	git show <COMMIT>:path/to/file.ext	Use `HEAD^` as <COMMIT> for SVN's `PREV`

SVN	GIT	Notes
svn up	git pull {URL}	Must provide URL. Can create URL aliases, see “REMOTES” in `man git-pull`
svn commit	git commit && git push	Commits to the local branch, then publishes the commit to the remote (assuming you have permission to do so)
svn log –limit={N}	git log remotes/origin	Where `origin` is the original branch. Use `git branch -r` to see a list of remote branches
svn blame	git blame
svn info	git remote show origin	Assuming `origin` is your tracking branch
svn checkout	git clone
