About:
HgFastExport is a high-performance command-line tool designed to migrate repositories from Mercurial (hg) to Git. It efficiently converts changesets, branches, and tags while preserving commit history and authorship. This tool is essential for teams modernizing their version control infrastructure without losing historical context.
Key Features:
  • Preserves complete commit history including timestamps and authorship
  • Handles complex branching and merging patterns
  • Fast processing speed for large repositories
  • Command-line interface for automation and scripting
Use Cases:
  • Migrating legacy Mercurial projects to Git hosting platforms
  • Consolidating version control systems across an organization
  • Archiving Mercurial repositories in Git format for long-term maintenance
Alternatives:
  • git-remote-hg – Built-in Git bridge that provides bidirectional sync rather than one-time conversion
  • kallithea – Web-based repository management with migration features, heavier than CLI tools
