Migrate all Mercurial repos to Git with the original Issues and Wikis

Gene Parilov

It is indeed quite straightforward to migrate a Mercurial repo to Git. However, we have been heavily using Issues and Wiki for our Mercurial repos and have to keep them. Would it be possible to somehow "import" them too into a new Git home at Bitbucket?

In Bitbucket, you can import a repo, but it does not offer a way to import Issues and Wiki. Any suggestions?

Hello @Gene Parilov,

There's export & import process for issues. Under repository settings go to Import & export tab in Issues section. You'll be able to export a ZIP which you can then import to another repository.

There's no similar mechanism for wikis, however they're in fact regular Git/Mercurial repositories (DVCS is same to the repo it belongs to). So you can clone a wiki, convert it and push to another repository's wiki.

Hope this helps. Let me know if you have any questions.

Cheers,
Daniil
