Fork a svn project from Google Code to GitHub

Clone a repo:

$ git svn clone http://<PROJECT>.googlecode.com/svn <PROJECT>

Enter the newly cloned directory:

$ cd <PROJECT>

Setup Git repository:

$ git remote add origin https://github.com/<USER>/<PROJECT>.git
$ git push origin master

Do some work and commit locally to Git. Once something is committed to SVN, rebase your local changes against the latest changes in SVN:

$ git svn rebase
$ git push

Fork a git project from Google Code to GitHub

How to fork a git project from Google Code to GitHub:

1. Create new repo on http://github.com as follows: https://help.github.com/articles/creating-a-new-repository
2. Clone the project:
   
        $ git clone https://code.google.com/p/<PROJECT>/
3. Set the remote origin url:

     $ git remote set-url origin https://github.com/<USER>/<PROJECT>.git

Now you can do local changes and commits. Push commits:

$ git push origin master

To stay synced, setup upstream repository:

$ git remote add upstream https://code.google.com/p/<PROJECT>/
$ git remote -v

Now you can fetch the remote repository updates from the Google Code and merge its changes into the local branch:

$ git fetch upstream
$ git merge upstream/master

Fix conflicts if necessary.
