Import project with history

[Luca Fenu]

Hello there, 

I could not find any tip about how to move an already existing repository to gitblit, without losing its history. Is there any specific tool, command, or setting in which I am able to do it?

Thanks in advance

Luca

how about copying the bare repository to the gitblit's folder containing all the git repositories it's serving ?

It would miss the commit history of the project. Am I wrong?

you are wrong, the git repository is containing the history.

At least when you copy the original bare repository which was hosted elsewhere earlier.

Otherwise you can create a full copy using git clone --mirror
