git-svn: Clone an SVN repository.
$ git svn clone ${https:--example-com-subversion_repo} ${local_dir}
try on your machine

This command is used to create a Git repository from an existing Subversion repository.

Let's break down the command:

  • git svn clone is the Git command used to clone a Subversion repository.
  • ${https:--example-com-subversion_repo} represents the URL of the Subversion repository you want to clone. In this case, the URL is "https://example.com/subversion_repo".
  • ${local_dir} represents the local directory where the Git repository will be cloned. This could be a specific directory path on your local machine.

So when you run this command, Git will connect to the Subversion repository specified by the URL "https://example.com/subversion_repo" and clone it into the local directory specified by ${local_dir}.

This explanation was created by an AI. In most cases those are correct. But please always be careful and never run a command you are not sure if it is safe.
