Is there a Git command to import a hg repository

Question

With git svn clone I can work on a subversion repository using git. Is there a similar way to work on Mercurial (hg) repositories?

Answer 1

There isn't anything built in.

You can use git-hg however, which I use a lot and works great for pulling hg repos and updates to a git repo, but the downside of it is that you cannot push updates made to your git repo to a hg repo with git-hg .

Answer 2

The Mercurial extension hg-git is another way to go in the Hg->Git direction. If you just want to go in that direction, so far as I can see, it and git-hg both work well. More details here .

Answer 3

If it was the other case, I mean if you need a git->hg conversion you can use mercurial's Convert extension . But for your question git-hg should do fine.
