Moving from SVN to Git in 1,000 easy steps!
After we committed to the decision, we handled the move to Git slowly and delicately for a few reasons. One is that we deploy around 30 times a day across an engineering organization that was about 80 people at the time. We didn’t want to lose any of that velocity (we knew we might lose some in the beginning, but wanted it to be as seamless as possible). Another was that we had a varying range of Git familiarity across the team. From Git experts to people who had never touched it. Education played a huge part in our successful transition. It was also important for us to continue the use of flagging code on/off and having a continuously deployed trunk mentality even after the switch to git.
