Moving my BitBucket mercurial repository to git was a lot harder than I hoped for (but moving to GitHub was easy)
Posted by jpluimers on 2015/06/10
After reading Converting Hg repositories to Git directed me into reading Bitbucket: Converting Hg repositories to Git I hoped moving my Mercurial repository on BitBucket to a Git repository would be something like following the steps.
It wasn’t.
First of all, hg-git on a Windows system requires Python or TortoiseHg. Neither of these I wanted to install for a one-off conversion.
So I took a throw-away Linux VM, and did the steps below. But let me first explain why.
Motivation
My motivation for moving away from BitBucket to GitHub, especially for projects containing markdown documentation.
When writing documentation in Markdown, being able to in-line reference pictures or have relative-references to other documents. This works perfectly in local Markdown tools (like MarkdownPad 2 or LightPaper).

revue: getting Tumbleweed on it.
Posted by jpluimers on 2015/06/09
Now that github stopped showing my README.rst as reStructuredText here is the htmlpreview link of the pandoc rendered reStructuredText:
It is about installing and configuring Tumbleweed which is a tad bit more frustrating than I hoped for.
In practice unixoids aren’t as heavenly as many geeks pretend them to be.
I got the htmlpreview solution via css – How to see an html page on github as a normal rendered html page to see preview in browser, without downloading? – Stack Overflow.
I might try the github pages in the future.
Sourcecode of htmlpreview is at htmlpreview/htmlpreview.github.com.

How to add screenshot to markdown/READMEs in github repository ? (via: Stack Overflow)
Posted by jpluimers on 2015/05/20
Adding relative links to screenshots in markdown files (like README.md) works way better at GitHub than on BitBucket:
- site / master / issues / #6589 – Markdown relative link to image and other readme does not work — Bitbucket.
- site / master / issues / #6315 – Relative urls in readme.md files only work half the time. BB-7521 — Bitbucket.
For GitHub, this works, has documentation and various places with tips:
- Relative links in READMEs · GitHub Help.
- How to add screenshot to READMEs in github repository ? – Stack Overflow.
In fact it is a reason for some people to move public projects from Bitbucket to GitHub.
For private repositories that is different as GitHub charges for private repositories, but BitBucket has free private repositories.
Note: if you go the npm way, then you might want to have absolute URLs: Add images to readme.md in GitHub – Stack Overflow.

Resolve issues automatically when users push code in Bitbucket and GitHub
Posted by jpluimers on 2015/05/14
I tend to forget some of the keywords you can put into BitBucket commit messages to relate them to certain issues/bugs/tickets

How to move your Google Code project to GitHub
Posted by jpluimers on 2015/03/18
Thanks David Millington for pointing me to How to move your Google Code project to GitHub.
A small quote from it:
By the end of this article, you will have:
- Moved the repository, including commit history, from the Google Code project to a new GitHub project
- Updated the Google Code project to redirect to the new project location
- Updated the Google Code repository so users updating will find out they need to use the new project location
- Set up some basic project settings in your new GitHub project.

Posted by jpluimers on 2014/10/30
Session:
Understanding Distributed Version Control
This session helps developers who have been working with a Centralized Version Control System such as SVN to understand and use Distributed Version Control such as GIT or Mercurial. This session focuses primarily on GIT, but applies to Mercurial. We also cover how to use GIT from the RAD Studio IDE.
