Steps:

1. Download svn2git tool: https://github.com/nirvdrum/svn2git
   1. Add Commands
2. Pull desired SVN repository
   1. //Add Commands
3. Create Text Document of Authors to link to Git Accounts
   1. create authors.txt
   2. add in all authors with the following format:
      1. jcoglan = James Coglan <jcoglan@never-you-mind.com>
      2. stnick = Santa Claus <nicholas@lapland.com> (Recommended to link everyone’s account but if you can’t, it’s not required to link everyone’s account, but you must provide an email, if only a made up one.)
4. Convert the repositories with the git commands:
   1. $ svn2git http://source.usc.edu/svn/mesh_partitioner/ --trunk trunk --tags tags --nobranches --authors ~/authors.txt (Note: --trunk trunk (the trunk argument is the name of the trunk repository-tags tags (tags is the name of your repository of tags))

   1. Add Remote
      1. git remote add <remote-name> <remote-url>##git remote origin git@github.com:SCECcode/CyberShake.git
