I have a development repository in bazaar and I want to convert it to git and keep it synced. I need this because I will be sharing my code with someone who doesn't know bazaar.
first I needed to convert my bazaar repo to git. I googled around and I found this blog which mentions simple steps to convert from bazaar to git. But when I tried to run bzr fast-export it says there is no such command.
I tried installing bzr fast-export, by sudo apt-get install bzr-fastexport. Seems I actually have to install fastimport. so I tried this : sudo apt-get install bzr-fastimport. Now I can also run bzr fastexport. And following command did successfully :
bzr fast-export | git fast-import
now I have the same repo in git. But how do I maintain sync? after googling up I found out that I have to use git-bzr-ng, but there are no instructions on the github repo. Any idea how? or any other alternative?
There is a simple way to achieve this. bzr dpush does exactly what I want. However, bzr-git needs to be installed:
apt-get install bzr-git
Then all I had to run this:
bzr dpush https://bitbucket.org/myusername/myreponame,branch=master
It also supports --directory (or -d) argument if I want to run it from different directory. The command would be
bzr dpush -d /path/to/branch https://bitbucket.org/myusername/myreponame,branch=master
