Steps to migrate from SVN to GitLab

This process worked for me. I take no responsibility for any damage or loss incurred as a result of following or not following these steps or, for that matter, anything else you might do or not do.

Setup

  • SVN is hosted at svn.domain.com.au.
  • SVN is accessible via http (other protocols should work).
  • GitLab is hosted at git.domain.com.au and:

Experiment: gist as a blogging platform

Experiment: gist as a blogging platform

Am I crazy? Perhaps. But why shouldn't we use gist as a blogging platform?

What it has going for it

  • support for comments
  • renders markdown
  • support for multiple files, so code examples can be attached as well as inline
  • automatic indexing by search engines

$values = array(
array(
'title' => 'First item (1,1)',
'categoryID' => 1,
'storeID' => 1
