Borland Connect , Git , Starteam repository migration question

Hello,

Has anyone ever migrated a starteam repository into a GIT repository including all the history? If so I am interested in knowing how. Currently using Borland connect and Git. Thank you in advance

We are actively working on developing a bridge between StarTeam and GIT.
We plan to support the full set of Git Operation, including pull, push, fetch and clone.
and hope to have a product release launch before the year end.

Would you care to elaborate on the types of problems you need to solve?
Your input is bound to help us produce a better product.
Thank you

Hi Ben,
The bridge being developed is a client side GIT extension. (a .jar with a git flavored command line interface)
as a GIT afficionado / developer, you can work entirely in a local GIT repository.
and treat StarTeam as the equivalent of a remote (GIT) repository.
You may start by cloning a StarTeam view to your local machine as a GIT repository.
At your convenience you can pull (catch up with) changes from StarTeam,
and/or push your changes as a commit to StarTeam.

On the other hand, as you are aware, the Borland Connect Framework synchronizes changes between StarTeam & GIT (or other SCM systems) in near real time.

hope this helps
take care

Hi Valentina,

We do have a GIT remote helper that can be run from the CPC install.

It behaves in exactly the way that has been described by this thread, albeit 3 years ago.

The git helper allows you to treat the starteam server as the equivalent of a git remote repository. so you can merge from your local git workspace directly to starteam in both directions.

what other information are you looking for please?

if necessary, we can schedule a meeting between you and our git development engineer.

thank you

two duplicate posts removed from this thread.

You've asked the same question in a separate thread (community.microfocus.com/.../migrate-the-starteam-2005-r2-repositories-to-bitbucket-cloud), see reply there.
