How to migrate IBM RTC code with history to git with rtc2git?

So I need to migrate with history RTC to Git using the rtc2git "Getting your History Files" page.

However, I am not able to see the option how to do the below steps:

  • Select all Entries and press "Copy URL" in the context menu
  • Copy the links in a editor of your choice and remove everything except the uuid (marked green) of the changeset (use search and replace)
  • Save file as History_YourComponentname_YourStreamName.txt and place it in the folder called "History"
  • Repeat process for each component of your stream

Can someone confirm if there are able to migrate rtc code along with history to git using this process?

I followed a similar process, without using rtc2git, by:

  • creating a repository workspace on the stream to migrate
  • replacing the baseline with a past baseline I want to import to Git
  • import the content of the local repository workspace to Git repository
  • repeat with a more recent baseline

The import itself is done with

cd /path/tonew/Git/repo
git --work-tree=/path/to/RTC/repo/workspace add .
git commit -m "Import RTC baseline xxx"
git tag -m "Import RTC baseline xxx" xxx
git push --follow-tags

The idea is to import only a few selected baselines I deem important, in order to get a shallow history in Git of the former RTC codebase.

RTC itself remains in read-only mode if one need to consult a detailed history in the past.
