Script to migrate WordPress plugins from SVN to github

Update: This script is almost obsolete as github will switch to their v3 API on may 1st, 2012 and doesn't display the API token any more...

With this this script you can easily migrate a WordPress plugin from the wordpress.org svn repository to github. This script will NOT import the full history, only the last commit.

Use your usual git workflow, and when you are ready to publish on wordpress.org use git svn dcommit, and git svn tag.

Raw
#!/usr/bin/env bash

intro="
Usage: bash wp_plugin_to_github.sh plugin_name

This script will create a local git repository of your wordpress plugin.
Because of the extremely slow fetching of history from wordpress.org svn
this script will THROW AWAY your complete history. However, the history
will still be on wordpress.org and if you really care you can fetch it from
there later.

Please make sure that you have uploaded your local public ssh key to your
github account!
