Converting a Mercurial repo to a git repo

• Install the mercurial-git package:

  sudo apt-get install -y mercurial-git

• Add the following to your ~/.hgrc:

  [extensions] hgext.bookmarks = hgext.git =

• At the mercurial repo:

  hg bookmark -r default repo

• On another directory create your git repo:

  git init git_repo cd git_repo git config --bool core.bare true

• At the mercurial repo:

  hg push path/to/your/git_repo

Now your git_repo directory is a git bare repository, you can clone from it
