# Migrating from SVN to GitLab
SVN stands for Subversion and is a version control system (VCS).
Git is a distributed version control system.
There are some major differences between the two, for more information consult your favorite search engine.
Git has tools for migrating SVN repositories to git, namely `git svn`. You can read more about this at
[git documentation pages](http://git-scm.com/book/en/Git-and-Other-Systems-Git-and-Subversion).
Apart from the [official git documentation](http://git-scm.com/book/en/Git-and-Other-Systems-Migrating-to-Git) there is also
user created step by step guide for migrating from SVN to GitLab.
[Benjamin New](https://github.com/leftclickben) wrote [a guide that shows how to do a migration](https://gist.github.com/leftclickben/322b7a3042cbe97ed2af). Mirrors can be found [here](https://gitlab.com/snippets/2168) and [here](https://gist.github.com/maxlazio/f1b593b0d00aa966e9ca).
## Contribute to this guide
We welcome all contributions that would expand this guide with instructions on how to migrate from SVN and other version control systems.
