I’ve been using etckeeper on my Digital Ocean droplet for sometime and have made numerous changes to the /etc since that time.
I now realize that i’ve been using bzr all this time and would like to switch to git; but fear that i shall loose all the incremental changes i’ve made to my /etc directory.
Is there ANY way to not only switch from bzr to git, but convert bzr’s incremental changes to git as well?
Thanks!
Answer
You can export the bzr history into git by
cd /etc
git init
bzr fast-export --plain . | git fast-import
Then just reconfigure etckeeper to use git (set VCS="git" in /etc/etckeeper/etckeeper.conf).
The above commands require the fastimport plugins to be installed in bzr and git.
