Thanks, Tracy. That looks quite promising. --

And it has shown itself to be quick. Though the way I used VSS has some deeply nested projects. This tool is putting everything that deep, leaving a lot of blank folders to move through. https://github.com/trevorr/vss2git Though I haven't worked out how to catch and put in the FoxBin2PRG conversion of the binary files yet. Have a look. I know it will make my life somewhat easier. It keeps all the history. Tracy -----Original Message----- From: ProfoxTech [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Richard Kaye Sent: Friday, January 04, 2019 5:05 PM To: [email protected] Subject: RE: VSS to git conversion Before FB2P was released I would have recommended SCCTEXTX as it did address all the shortcomings of the VFP supplied SCCTEXT tool. But FB2P works brilliantly, has tools to add it to Explorer's Send To menu, and seamlessly handles two way conversions of VFP binaries. Highly recommended as John Dvorak used to say in PCMag... I've also started playing with PEx and Git for the same reasons as you; getting out of VSS. I can't speak to the preservation of SCC history in terms of a migration but the general integration of PEx with Git works in a manner very similar to the native Project Explorer SCC integration. Getting that initial dump into Git and in general getting comfortable with Git is my biggest hurdle so far. But I'm determined to make the migration in 2019. -- rk _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://mail.leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://mail.leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/bn6pr10mb1458a23bbc4762aca18ebdc5d2...@bn6pr10mb1458.namprd10.prod.outlook.com ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
