SVN to GIT Migration

0
I'm new to Mendix and my project requires converting from SVN to GIT. Could you provide steps on what's required to accomplish this, so I can better understand the process?   I've explored one possible implementation, but I'd like to gather tips from fellow developers and experts.

Hi MD, Great Question, Let me share the steps,

Upgrade to Latest LTS Patch (9.24.35)

  • We recommend upgrading the application from Mendix 9.24.23 to 9.24.35.
  • This ensures we benefit from all critical security patches, bug fixes, and performance improvements available in the 9.24 LTS line.
  • It also ensures compatibility and minimizes risk during the upgrade and migration process.

Version Control Migration (SVN to Git)

  • Mendix 10 requires Git as the version control system (SVN is no longer supported).
  • A one-time SVN to Git migration will be carried out using Mendix’s built-in conversion tool. 
  • This migration needs to be performed by the Scrum Master within the Mendix environment to ensure proper repository setup and validation.
  • The new Git repository will be validated post-migration for accuracy and completeness.

 We recommend proceeding with the upgrade to:

  • Mendix 9.24.35 (latest LTS version)
  • Perform the SVN to Git repository migration

I hope this one helps you! :)

Hello MD,

 

Check if your main line is on Studio Pro version 9.24 or above, and all your branches are at least on Studio Pro version 9.12 or above.

Make sure your Main branch is on Studio Pro version 9.24.28 or above.

Follow the migration process outlined in the document at 

Migrate to Git | Mendix Documentation

It is recommended to start new projects with GIT version control as it is more flexible and shows less conflicts compared to SVN.

Keep in mind that it's not possible to revert back from Git to SVN.
