Before migration make sure you have installed Github client, Java development kit. You can download JDK from https://docs.oracle.com/cd/E19182-01/820-7851/inst_cli_jdk_javahome_t/ . Make sure your JAVA_HOME is also set under environment variables

Please follow the step by step guide mentioned below:

Create a new folder and navigate to the folder. eg: C:\svnproject
Now we need to extract the SVN project and history, thereafter clone the project for GitHub
- Open the command prompt and navigate to C:\svnproject
- Extract project and history from SVN and clone for GitHub by using the following syntax
  git svn clone <SVN Path>
  eg: git svn clone svn://svndomain/ApplicationPath
- Once you execute the above command, it will prompt you to enter SVN username and password, if SVN is not already configured in your system.
- After entering your SVN credentials, it will extract the history from SVN and make a clone for GitHub. This step may take time depending upon the history size.
Add the cloned project to the remote GitHub
- In the current directory, execute the following command to create a remote link with GitHub
  C:\svnproject>git remote add origin https://github.com/repo-name
Verify the GitHub remote configuration
- In the current directory, execute the following command to verify the remote link configuration is correct
  C:\svnproject>git remote -v
- If the configuration is correct, we will get the following output with the remote GitHub link
  origin https://github.com/repo-name (fetch)
  origin https://github.com/repo-name (push)
Push the source to the GitHub repo
- In the current directory, execute the following command to push the source to GitHub repo, this may take time, based upon the size of the project
  C:\svnproject>git push -u origin master
That’s it, you successfully moved the SVN project with history to GitHub

Please follow the step by step guide mentioned below:

Download GIT-TF from the following URL git-tf.zip
Extract the download file and navigate to the extracted folder. eg: C:\git-tf
Now we need to extract the TFS project and history, thereafter clone the project for GitHub
- Open the command prompt and navigate to C:\git-tf
- Extract project and history from TFS and clone for GitHub by using the following syntax
  
  git-tf clone <TFS Project Collection> <TFS Project Name> <Output Source> --deep eg: git-tf clone http://tfs.comapanyname.com:8080/tfs/DefaultCollection $/Project/ C:\ProjectDirectory --deep
- Once you execute the above command, it will prompt you to enter TFS username and password.
- After entering your TFS credentials, GIT-TF will extract the history from TFS and make a clone for GitHub. This step may take time depending upon the history size.
Create a new repository in Github
Add the cloned project to the remote GitHub
- Open the command prompt and navigate output source folder eg: C:\MyEFFramework and execute the following command to create a remote link with GitHub
  C:\ProjectDirectory>git remote add origin https://github.com/reponame
Verify the GitHub remote configuration
- In the output source folder execute the following command to verify the remote link configuration is correct
  C:\ProjectDirectory>git remote -v
- If the configuration is correct, we will get the following output with the remote GitHub link
  origin https://github.com/reponame (fetch)
  origin https://github.com/reponame (push)
Push the source to the GitHub repo
- In the output source folder execute the following command to push the source to GitHub repo, this may take time, based upon the size of the project
  C:\ProjectDirectory>git push -u origin master
That’s it, you successfully moved the TFS project with history to GitHub
