Question

I don\'t have a huge experience with Mercurial, I\'m mostly a Git guy.

I would love to mirror a specific Mercurial folder/file in a git Repository. What I\'m actuall

Answer 1

hg-git-fast-import

https://github.com/kilork/hg-git-fast-import

Another utility with the following features:

1. Import of single and multiple Mercurial repositories to Git repository.
2. Import of new revisions from previously imported Mercurial repositories to Git repository.
3. Tags.
4. Closed branches.
5. Verification of the end result with diff.

You may download binary for you platform and put somewhere in path or install with cargo (require rust to be installed):

cargo install hg-git-fast-import

Then usage is like this:

hg-git-fast-import single /path/to/source_hg /path/to/target_git

It does not need Python and Mercurial to be installed. Advanced configuration allows to replace authors or branches, make branches prefixed and more.
