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).

Now that github stopped showing my README.rst as reStructuredText here is the htmlpreview link of the pandoc rendered reStructuredText:
revue: getting Tumbleweed on it.
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.

I hadn’t monitored Notepad++ in a very long time, so I was glad that User Thomas Owens mentioned that it can show you the CR and LF codes:
With Notepad++, you can show end-of-line characters. It shows CR and LF, instead of “\r” and “\n”, but it gets the point across. […]
To use Notepad++ for this,
- open the View menu, open the Show Symbols slide out, and
- select either “Show all characters” or “Show end-of-line characters”.
I needed this because many development environments get confused when you have text files using a mix of line-break kinds (in my case LF, CR and CRLF).

Even if you think you are familiar with something, it pays to keep your knowledge current.
I’ve been always struggling with the crontab syntax. It’s flexible, but for most cases overly complex, for instance I still thought I needed “0 0 * * 0” to run something weekly, which I needed.
So I am pretty sure there were no @monthly or @weekly in crontab last century.
Not so any more, and if I’d had the crontab documentation more often, I had known about the crontab shortcuts @reboot, @yearly, @annually, @monthly, @weekly, @daily, @midnight and @hourly many years ago: Read the rest of this entry »

So I remember for the next time:
zypper install ruby
zypper install ruby-devel
zypper install gcc
zypper install gcc-c++
If you don’t install all these, them the gem will fail with errors like this: Read the rest of this entry »
